My story begins in the Welsh coal-mining town of Abertillery, South Wales. The natural landscape of Wales that I know so well has influenced my design work,: from its changing seasonal colours to the craggy edges of the mountains and freshwater streams. There is a textural and sensual quality to these surroundings that I bring to projects giving them a sensibility that is derived from the natural world.
Before coming to the RCA my design career has ranged from hotel design and, restaurants to residential interiors . In 2018 I joined as a member of the British Institute of Interior Design and continued to learn about the world of interiors by working with renowned interior design studios.
Decided to study at the RCA as a way to explore a more fluid side of creativity, and how my approach fits within it. It was a decision I made to develop a more critical outlook in my creative thinking and be imaginative in my design making.
