I’m a designer who’s really interested in creating products that have both purpose and meaning, while also being visually appealing. I’m especially drawn to furniture design, where there’s a balance between solving problems and creating something that people are naturally drawn to.

I enjoy designing modern furniture that feels clean and considered, but still has enough character to stand out. My interest in this area really developed during my placement year, where I discovered how much I enjoyed working within the furniture industry and being involved in the full design process.

I’ve been working at ob&b, a British furniture manufacturer, for over two years, which has helped me build both my confidence and skill set. Through this, I’ve developed strong abilities in technical drawing and rendering, allowing me to clearly communicate ideas and bring both my own concepts and client visions to life.

Working within an established brand has also taught me how to design to a specific style, keeping products consistent across a range while still finding ways to add my own input. I’ve found this balance really valuable, as it’s pushed me to be creative within real-world constraints.

Going forward, I’d like to continue working in the furniture industry and keep developing as a designer, creating work that is both functional and visually engaging.
