About Me
I'm a hard-working, proactive and diligent person in my second year of studying Commercial Interior Design at Billy Blue College of Design in Sydney.
People tell me that I have exceptional people skills and that I am warm and enthusiastic. I think this is because I'm passionate about people and this seems to make it easy to connect and create relationships - both in my professional and personal life.
I am a career-focused and highly driven individual who is continually seeking to learn through contribution and take on responsibility and growth opportunities.
Private holiday house - NSW South Coast
This Uni Assessment required me to work with a client who wanted to renovate the kitchen for their new holiday home. I worked with them to create a kitchen that can host a large number of people in their house yet retains a cozy feel of a home which helps to bring people together. The green cabinets were sympathetic to the natural setting in which the dwelling is located and the marble benchtop represents the rugged cliffs of the nearby NSW South Coast. The couple also wanted to capture the historic nature of the holiday home with an overall nostalgic feel and this was accomplished with retro fittings, SMEG appliances and timber surfaces.

Mecca Maxima Store - Macquarie Centre
This University assessment required the creation of a retail space using primarily sustainable materials. I was inspired to use Mecca as the subject of this challenge and designed a store layout suitable for a shopping centre setting. The materials used in the Point of Sale (PoS) area were made entirely of recycled plastic sourced from customer-donated make-up and skin care containers. The horizontal surfaces were covered in ceramic tiles which was both optically pleasing as well as highly resilient and hygienic.

Melbourne Bar Design - Fitzroy
This University assessment required the creation of a fully accessible bar. This was achieved through the incorporation of a fully flowing floor plan to ensure full maneuverability for guests using mobility devices. Similarly, table heights were slightly lowered to meet the needs of both ambulatory and non-ambulatory customers. Other design features included a glass wall between the seated area and the dance floor which serves as a sound divider but still allows cross over of vision. Finally a dynamic lighting constellation is embedded in the ceiling and is configured vibrate to the music and creates an all-immersive sensory experience and cinematic feel.
Private Residence -Blue Mountains
My first University assessment required the use of VRay software in order to demonstrate the design of a modern house inspired by homes from the 1970s. Key features of the space included the sunken living room to bring character and notoriety to the design. Other iconic features included the slit windows, timber paneled ceilings and retro inspired finishes.
For my colour scheme I decided to have the colours as pink and red, this is because I want the colours to resemble love and care. I want this to be the first thing people think and feel coming across my brand. I’m planning on having a large brand following, my plan is to also create a TikTok and Instagram page to get the most publicity as possible. This way I can track my following clearly. As I’m planning on donating to the women’s shelters a lot of my following will come from women at these shelters. I am planning on having market stands which will allow for lots of new customers and followers to meet me in person which allows for a personal connection.
A main brand which comes to mind is a ceramic artist whose stall is called ‘Kemma’. Kemma is a well-established ceramic artist based in Sydney, she often does market stalls and creates products like the products I’m planning on creating. This is my main brand rival as it’s a small business with very similar audience, personality, and promise. However, there are some main differences being my support to charity. Kemma also focuses primarily on mugs, but my plan is to have a large focus on other household items. I’m not concerned how this will affect my brand as I believe there is opportunity for many ceramic artists in Sydney.
