ABOUT ME…..
Surbiton,
I am an enthusias c hardworking designer, with a passion for dance, publica on and travel (just like most people these days). Ideally I would like to work in an environment that is challenging, crea ve, posi ve and collabo‐ ra ve, where I can both learn from, and contrib‐ ute towards my colleagues. I enjoy si ng around a table brainstorming with people, discussing ideas and learning new things. I am equally confi‐ dent working individually and dealing with cli‐ ents directly.

BENARES, MAYFAIR
The Michelin Star Restaurant in Mayfair, Lon‐ don, run by chef Atul Kochar, wanted to refresh their image and branding. During my me spent at Halo Design Interiors, I met with the clients, understood their brief and their desire to create big effects with minimal disrup on to their opera on. From researching their brand and also the idea upon which their restaurant was based on, I came up with several con‐ cepts for their interiors to make bold changes. To draw more customers in, I decided that more drama was required espe‐ cially in the ground floor entrance hall. During my me on this project, I liaised directly with clients and suppliers, I designed bespoke items, produced drawings, sourced materials, products, designed signage and branding and quota ons. I also organised the purchase, manufacture, delivery and fi ng of many such items. Branding is also a large part of their name, and as such the clients wanted a new set of op ons for gi s and hampers. I worked on this to produce different branding op ons and produced samples, and cos ng.

JUNCTION, GALLERY & FLOWERS STALL, LAMBETH NORTH
Flower stall, landmark, and art gallery in one. JUNCTION has a cross program of use and ac vity. It is both a ceramics art gallery, and also an external Flower stall for local residents, and passers by visi ng any of the local churches or memorial services held in the area regularly.
The triangular island now a ached to the footpath in front of Morley college effec vely increased the colleg‐ es standing point. The gallery also acts as a new landmark to the area to aid way finding and as a signpost for Morley college.
Firstly the ceramic gallery acts as an extension to Mor‐ ley College in Lambeth North. Po ery was of a high im‐ portance to the Lambeth area especially along the river da ng back many years. Morley College was also highly important to encouraging further adult educa on and improving oneself. The Gallery acts as an interven on to the area and sits on an exis ng traffic triangle island. To encourage a sense of place, and the use of Morley College and the new gallery more, a lane of traffic has been removed.
