What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a new challenge where I can use my 15 years of design, project delivery, supplier management and team leadership experience in a varied, people-focused role.

At MKB Designs, I lead a team of three designers while managing high-end residential kitchen and interior projects valued between £50k and £150k.

I take projects from the first client meeting through design, ordering, delivery and completion, working closely with clients, architects, builders and contractors to keep sites coordinated and solve problems as they arise.

Alongside project delivery, I help run the showroom, shape product ranges, source products and manage supplier relationships, agreements and contracts.

Across 15 years in kitchen, interior and bespoke furniture design, I’ve produced technical drawings and specifications, managed budgets and schedules, and delivered practical designs tailored to each client’s needs.
