About Me

HELLO!

I began my journey with the design industry in 2015 after graduating University with a degree in Interior Design and I worked on a number of solo and collaborative projects, for both global and national businesses and I have even dipped my toe into freelance work throughout the years. In 2020, I applied to train as a Design and Technology Teacher with Sacred Heart SCITT in Newcastle after years of being pulled towards the profession and it was the best decision I ever made.
