Design has always been a part of my life. Having an architect for a father my attention was drawn to architecture at an early age. By the time I was a teenager photos I had taken contained more buildings than people for that was how I remembered my experiences. I remembered the interiors and the facades, the sounds created echoing off of the ceilings and the way light played on the materials. Most distinctly though I remember how I felt and as a result that is how I choose to approach the interior; through emotion. For me this is defined by function. The function of an interior is the foundation of an occupant’s expectations and emotions towards the space. My design process approaches the interior through function and with it I seek to create order within my designs. Patterning has become a favourite tool, both visually and structurally, as a source of ordered complexity which balances function and aesthetics. For this reason designers such as Kengo Kuma and Patricia Urquiola have become constant inspirations in my work. As a final year student I am eager to gain experience in all areas of interior design. In particular areas such as hospitality and retail design have held my attention for a long time. Residential design has also become a strong interest of mine due to my thesis work and I would like to pursue it further in both design and research.
