Originally from East Yorkshire, I completed my BA Hons. in Interior Design at Leeds Metropolitan University. With a background in fine art and an enduring interest in the influence of 2D and 3D visual arts in society, I am passionate about applying conceptual interdisciplinary elements and aesthetics to create atmosphere in the wider built environment. I have the keenest interest in public spaces such as bespoke museum buildings, installations and contemporary religious sites, which convey purpose and ambience.
Whilst studying for BA Hons. Interior Design I welcomed confrontation with challenging projects, sometimes dealing with sensitive subject matter, and developed a highly conceptual method of initialising ideas. The images below are taken from my final BA project: the design of a Register Office. The scheme strives to provide a sacred and sensitive atmosphere in the context of a progression through secular spaces, in which the antonymous combination of births, deaths and marriages would be registered.
Images from Register Office project, L-R: Waiting area for registration of deaths, Conceptual artwork for a contemplation space.
In completing a Masters course at Chelsea College, I endeavour to nurture my critical and conceptual thought process through extended research and interdisciplinary exploration: drawing inspiration from the fine art discipline in order to deepen my understanding of contemporary atmospheric spaces, and exploring the inherent connection between interior and exterior architectural forms.
