About Me
Hello! My name is Amy and I just love everything about interior design. From the initial brief taking stage through to construction, I have a great interest in producing inspirational and creative designs. I enjoy facing challenges head on and overcoming obstacles to create the vision clients are looking for within their environments. From previous experience of working in commercial design, I have learnt many skills that have made me develop as a designer, and love looking for opportunities that can help me continue my progress.
My strengths as a designer include creating strategic layouts that meet project requirements, producing eye-catching concept designs, and developing technical drawings with some understanding to detail.
