MA Interior Design,  superFUTURES
Royal College of Art

My work is deeply rooted in a fascination with how spaces shape human emotions and experiences.  I find meaning in creating environments that don’t just function but provoke thought, connection, and build a sense of community often focusing on accessibility and transformation. 

My approach is both meticulous and reflective, always seeking to push boundaries and tell meaningful stories through space. I’m especially drawn to projects that challenge me to think both critically and empathetically.

My process is about curiosity and exploration: constantly learning, experimenting, and finding extraordinary ways to express ideas. I’m passionate about understanding the bounds of space in its many dimensions, weaving together my love for interiors and writing, and using these tools to inspire others and create environments that feel deeply human.

Are you my Twin?

This project investigates the identity of discovered objects, challenging perceptions of their past, present, and potential futures. It compels us to have a deeper understanding of artefacts in order to undertake a sort of surgery to bring them back to life, honouring their past while also identifying their best properties for future consumption. 

Windows provide insight into external world and introspection, staying safe and stepping out into uncertainty. This project attempts to initiate a conversation to provoke a record of the craftsmanship through technology – focus is on the reflection of the work rather than the body of work itself. It explored the idea of a threshold being submerged and interlinked rather than a distinct entity. A replica was created in order to converse and critque these ideas.

Through conversations and critical analysis, themes of transparency, memory, and transformation emerged. Reflection became a key concept—suggesting visual contact without physical interaction, preserving history while shaping a new identity. By constructing a replica, the project interrogates these ideas, using material interventions as a way to bridge past narratives with speculative futures.

Ideas of immortality, manifestation of repressed memories. Doppleganger.
