I’m an interior designer with a focus on creating spaces that are both functional and meaningful—places that respond to real social needs while respecting the identity of the buildings and communities they serve. My work is often centred around adaptive reuse, heritage-led design, and inclusive environments.
I’m particularly motivated by gaps in the built environment—where certain groups, like older adults or care home residents, are often overlooked. This awareness shaped my Westgate’s Artisan Garden project, where I transformed Westgate Hall in Canterbury into a creative wellbeing centre for people over 65. The project combined therapeutic workshops, accessible design, and heritage preservation, offering a quiet, purposeful space that fosters connection and creativity.
The inspiration came from both the hall’s past as a plant nursery and the proven benefits of garden-based therapy for cognitive health. I aimed to design a space that felt calm, inclusive, and engaging—particularly for those living with dementia or reduced mobility.
My broader design approach is rooted in clarity, sensitivity, and narrative. I’m interested in how interiors can quietly support wellbeing, how materials and layout influence comfort, and how old buildings can be adapted to serve new, relevant purposes. I see design as a practical tool with social value, and I’m keen to continue exploring how it can improve everyday life—especially in public, cultural, or care-based settings.
