Phoebe Smith
Interior Architect and Designer
UNDERGRADUATE//PORTFOLIO
I am a second year student currently studying Interior Architecture and Design at Leeds Beckett University. I am a hard working, concientious person whom is willing to learn and broaden my set of skills. I consistently give 100 percent and am fully committed to the work I am required to do. The idea of manipulating and re-designing a space yet restricted by the stuctural boundaries has always intrigued me. My experience so far at University has pushed and tested my skill range to meet the demands needed to be an Interior Architect and Designer however, I am eager to push myself further to reach my full potential.
