Past Experiences

I am currently doing freelance work with a few Interiors Companies and have previously done lots to improve my knowledge and awareness of the world of interiors. The experience I have had has helped me on my way to find my strengths and what I really enjoy doing.


Below is a very brief outline of what I have been involved with in the recent past...



Focus Design (Commercial Interior Design Company)

On my Work Placement with Focus Design, I learnt how to put together effective mood boards for clients and how to draw large scale plans. Below shows some images of what I did while I was there.

Mood board I constructed for the bar, restaurant and lounge areas at The Swan Hotel, Alresford.

 

Mood board I constructed for the bedrooms and hallway at The Swan Hotel, Alresford. 

Two scale drawings I planned and drew, to accompany the mood boards I designed for The Swan Hotel, Alresford. 

Sanderson, Zoffany and Morris & Co.

I have worked with Sanderson and Co for a while on various Work Placements over the past 2 years. Below shows several images to give an idea of what I have been doing with them.

Showroom window display - Paris, France. I helped to design and construct this display for Sanderson's Collection.

Scale Drawing I drew of Sanderson and Zoffany's exhibition stand at Evissa.

The showroom display I helped to set up at the Chelsea Harbour Design Centre to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of Morris & Co.

Three images show my Final Project depicting a window display I designed and created for Liberty which features Sanderson's fabrics and wallpapers from their Colour for Living Collection.

I chose a child's bedroom scene using Sanderson's child-like and brightly coloured designs.
