FF&E SCHEME & MATERIAL BOARD

The domestic scale of the project allowed each suite to develop its own character. This scheme sits within the hotel’s most premium suite, a pitched-roof bedroom defined by exposed beams and balanced by soft symmetry. The FF&E palette complements the existing architecture: eggshell-painted beams soften the roof line, a deep timber canopy bed anchors the room, and layered jute and Persian rugs add tactility and collected charm. Natural linens, handwoven textiles and patterned canopy fabrics bring a quiet English-country elegance, balanced by stone, ceramic lighting and tailored upholstery

As part of my role, I created the FF&E collages and contributed to sourcing workshops, mood boarding, material boards, FF&E schedule input and detailed room-by-room inventories.

Shoreditch Triplex Flat

Freelance Interior Designer | Born & Bred Studio

RESPONSIBILITIES

Site Survey | SketchUp AutoCAD Vray Technical Drawings | Joinery Drawings | Sourcing | Design Refinement Client Communication

This Shoreditch triplex blends period detailing with contemporary joinery and a soft, tonal palette to create a warm, refined living space. I worked on several areas throughout the house, including this living room, carrying out the initial site survey, developing updated layouts, and producing the technical and joinery drawings shown in the axonometric breakdown. Working closely with joiners and suppliers, I helped refine the bespoke cabinetry to ensure it aligned with the design intent and fabrication requirements. The render communicates the material direction, lighting layers and intended spatial character, supported by SketchUp modelling throughout the design process.

Terraced House & Extension

Freelance Interior Designer | Born & Bred Studio

RESPONSIBILITIES

Site Survey | SketchUp | AutoCAD | Vray | Photoshop Technical Drawings | Joinery Drawings | Sourcing | Design Refinement | Client Communication

This project reimagined a terraced house through a side-return extension and loft conversion, opening up the kitchen and dining areas with warm timber, a sculptural stone island and a run of roof lights bringing daylight deep into the plan. The initial visual explored a richer palette, with the final build evolving through VE workshops and cost-led decisions. I completed the full house survey, produced all technical drawings, developed the initial design and 3D visuals under the lead designer, and worked closely with joiners on the bespoke kitchen package. I also supported FF&E and VE discussions to refine the scheme within budget while retaining the core narrative.

Residential Joinery Scheme

Freelance Interior Designer | Born & Bred Studio

RESPONSIBILITIES

SketchUp | AutoCAD | Photoshop | Technical Drawings | Joinery Drawings | Sourcing | Design Refinement | Client Communication

This residential project comprised the design of four rooms, with a focus on bespoke joinery solutions that enhanced everyday living. contributed to the design and 3D modelling of the storm porch and integrated storage, carefully resolving spatial constraints within the existing layout. I was also involved in sourcing materials and designing custom joinery for the kitchen, living room alcoves, and study areas, ensuring a cohesive aesthetic throughout the home. A key part of my role was producing detailed technical drawings for each bespoke element, which were then shared with joiners to achieve precise and well-crafted results.

Community Hall Regeneration Strategy

St Peters Church is a Grade II listed historic building that has long supported the local community. The main hall, the church’s largest gathering space, had deteriorated due to ageing infrastructure and the failure of the existing false ceiling.

I conducted community surveys to understand local needs, attended site visits with the lead architect to assess the structure, and researched sustainable technologies to revive the hall. I also redesigned the external spaces to strengthen community use and improve safety, producing clear design sheets to communicate proposals to non-technical clients.

Aboard The Boat Of Golden Hope

Inspired by Bangladesh’s Jatra theatre tradition, this project reimagines oral storytelling as a floating performance space — a vessel of culture, resilience, and collective hope. Historically, Jatra united communities through music and theatre to share political and social messages. As rising sea levels now threaten these same regions, the Boat of Golden Hope carries that legacy forward, travelling between villages to connect people through shared stories and identity

Blending myth, architecture, and performance, the project draws on Bangladesh’s craft traditions and visual symbolism to celebrate collaboration and continuity. It stands as both preservation and progress, a moving expression of creativity and a reminder of storytelling’s enduring power to unite.

The Chatham Creators Guild

Following the Dockyard’s closure in 1984, Chatham faced widespread unemployment and the loss of its once-thriving craft and apprenticeship culture. Many young people grew up without creative role models or opportunities to learn practical skills. This project reintroduces a social infrastructure rooted in Chatham’s heritage; a place for making, learning, and collaboration.

Centred on informal surveillance, the design weaves overlapping spaces that encourage spontaneous encounters and shared creativity. These interactions foster curiosity, mentorship, and community without the formality of traditional education. Reviving Chatham’s craftsmanship through modern studios and workshops, the project empowers a new generation of makers while promoting social mobility and a renewed sense of belonging through creativity.
