EXPERIENCE
Universal Design
2021 - 2023
Studio
My time at Universal Design Studio has introduced me to larger-scale public and private design projects, ranging from wellness/spa to workplace design. I was able to diversify my portfolio, to explore and practice new presentation techniques and be involved in exciting and innovative new projects and pitch presentations. I was also fully immersed in the studios culture and creative processes which inspired more creative thinking and promoted a deeper interest in materiality and sustainability.
De Rosee Sa 2019 - 2021
I have been involved in a range of high-end residential projects of varying scales. Working within a small team means that my communication with both clients and contractors needs to be clear and precise. I am involved in every stage of the design process and have seen multiple projects through to completion. My main development within DRS has been in technical drawing skills, particularly joinery
APPROACH
I apply an illustrative approach to design, creating unique and playful outcomes. W ith a clear understanding of spatial arrangement and detailing, I am able to combine formal design language with elements of artistic expression. My areas of interest lie within social interaction, memory and reflection within environments.
