Based in London and Hong Kong
I am a highly motivated recent Interior and Spatial Design graduate from the University of the Arts London, seeking graduate and junior roles that enable me to use and develop my attention to detail, organisation, and communication skills. I have gained relevant experience through my previous internships as well as UAL’s Creative Hack, which allowed me to build on my problem-solving and teamwork. My career goal is to assume an interior designer role that encourages and grows my open-minded multidisciplinary approach.
