About Me



I am a creative individual with a unique imagination and a desire to create visually exciting outcomes. I am doing Art and Design based subjects at A level which emphasises on the fact I love Design. I am a kinesthetic learner therefore enjoy learning whilst being active or on a practical basis. I am hard working, independent and enthusiastic. I feel London Metropolitian University would be a great place to attend to do an Interior Design course as London is a very cosmpolitian city and is well established, offering the students a great deal of learning opportunities.


I would love to live in London during my learning development process as I believe there are so many opportunities for part-time jobs and I would be able to commute to my hometown, Harrogate within a short time. I have also heard the nightlife and student union are fun,exciting and a great place to socialise.


I really hope that I will recieve an offer from London Metropolitain University for this Interior Design course as I know of people who have attended London Metropolitian University and have become successful Interior Designers.


I look forward to hearing from you in the very near future.


Yours Sincerely

Xtreme Play Photography

This is an image from my latest photography project called Xtreme Play. I have taken this photo capturing the movement and I have edited this image using Photoshop to create an exciting and lively atmosphere. I used colour-selection to select the mid air ski jumper to emphasize on the theme of Xtrme Play.

Initial Design Ideas



This is another example of deisgn development. This particular page shows possible draw ideas which consists of baskets and softer, more flexible materials. It also shows more useful functions my design could include such as coasters. The circular shapes proved to be more diffecult to manufacture in wood and when I issued a questionnaire to pupils they preferred the more angular design.

Development Sketch

To develop my initial design ideas I experimented by sketching out different possibilities. This included different shaped draws, bases, lighting ideas for the mirror and different materials. Further into this project I will use CAD to make measurements more accurate.

Light-up Storage with Mirror



This is the final full size product I designed and manufactured in 2009. The dimensions are approximatly 600mm x 400mm x 350mm high. It includes 2 recessed LED lights which are opperated by mains electricity.

Floor Plan


This is a floor plan of Lynx Menswear, a retail shop I work in at the weekends. Although this is not something I have done at school I am passionate about Interior Design and practice drawings at home. This particular drawing is not drawn to scale but is an accurate drawing of the layout of Lynx. It shows the actual shop floor with dividers showing the changing rooms, staff toilets, kitchen and fire exit.

Image Within An Image



This photo is another final image from an exam I did for AS Photography. I chose this particular image as I think the texture of the wall and the patterns on the models leggings contrast very well. By editing this image it has emphasised the great pattern and colouring of the stone wall and also shows the perspective by the angle.
