What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can deliver democratic, product-driven interiors with strong documentation and BIM clarity. I want to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, turn concepts into build-ready spaces, and contribute to work that connects people with meaningful, sustainable outcomes.

I’m a designer with experience across industrial, interior, and building design, supporting multidisciplinary teams through project coordination and documentation. I’m motivated by product-driven environments, democratic design principles, and projects that connect people with meaningful, functional, and sustainable design outcomes.

Across large-scale residential and hospitality work in Brisbane and the Gold coast, I contributed to partial design and full documentation, including landmark precincts such as Queen’s Wharf Brisbane. I translate design concepts into refined, build-ready interiors, collaborate closely with architects, consultants, and contractors, and help ensure cohesive integration of materials, joinery, and spatial details from concept through construction.

I also bring strong BIM and design tool capability, including ArchiCAD (advanced), AutoCAD (advanced), and Revit (beginner), supported by workflow improvements for clearer coordination and drawing quality. From luxury residential interiors to IKEA room set design and customised kitchen/wardrobe solutions, I balance aesthetics and long-term durability with a warm, organised approach to every task—earning recognition such as Best Digital Presentation and an Annual Building Design Awards.
