Interior Designer

"Having the chance to present to a panel of professionals was incredible preparation for the design industry. I enjoyed the guest speakers and having the chance to meet some of the industry's key players."


What were you doing before KLC and why did you decide to attend KLC?
I had been running my own jewellery business for six years but deep down my real passion has always been interiors and I knew that I wanted to pursue this in a professional capacity. As soon as I looked around KLC, I knew it was the right place for me to train and begin my interior design career.

Can you identify some of the highlights of your time at KLC?
I loved presenting my projects and having the chance to present to a panel of professionals was incredible preparation for the design industry. I enjoyed the guest speakers and having the chance to meet some of the industry's key players and asking them all my burning questions. I also made some wonderful friends for life.

How has your career evolved since KLC?
On graduating, I went straight to work at Helen Green Design where I was lucky enough to work on some of the most exciting prime luxury developments in London. Since then, I set up my own business which is now two years old and I have a design studio in Chelsea with a small team. We work on a mixture of high end developments and private homes all in central London and I absolutely love what I do.

What are some of your recent projects?
We have recently completed a luxury 2-bedroom show apartment in the heart of Mayfair on Hanover Street. This is a prime investment area and we have since won the contract for two more flats in the building. Other recent projects include a private Notting Hill townhouse for a family with three children who wanted to create a country house look in the heart of the city.
