This interior architecture company works on business-to-business and business-to-consumer projects. Involved in a small company and working close with the principal and director. On the work floor there are all facets of work, projects are developed from start to finish.

Worked as assistant producer for What Design Can Do 2013, an international design conference in Amsterdam. With knowledge neither in design nor management there was the task to give thirty-five employees work instructions during their work for the conference.

Designed and commissioned by Mbrella, the design brief was to design a product related to the word ‘play’. Boksy was the end product, a simple polycarbonate/polyethylene box with a functional inner foam core. It responds to the multiple movements of the user. Boksy is shown at The National Centre for Craft and Design (Sleaford, UK) and was present at the SaloneSatallite Milano 2011.

Internship in the interior architecture department let me deal with full-size projects, and enabled me to work closely together with a creative team of interior designers and architects. This experience taught me valuable skills in large scale drawing and detailing in AutoCAD, 2D and 3D.

This placement was based at the decoration and styling department. Experience included working to tight deadlines and time management for design changes. It was a pleasure to design events and theme-parties. The design concept included hand drawings and client presentations.

Thirteen months based on personal design development, particularly the relationship between the design processes, theories and how they are linked together. Personal interest was a design issue on the behaviour and intellectual movement of visitors within spatial design.

Product Design gave me the chance to develop material knowledge this increased while designing Boksy. Understand the exploration of ergonomics and customer usage of a product.

Four years of training in interior design. Working with spatial design to enhance the feeling of a space through materials, lighting, colours and space layout. A business related course incorporating life client presentations and projects.
