Interior Design, BA (Hons)

About me

During my time as a student at UCLan I have been the BAME representative for the past two years, I won the ABCD (Above and Beyond Call of Duty) award, I have also achieved the gold Livesey award for volunteering, and the highly commended award. Studying interior design has been an enlightening experience as I have learnt that I would like to go into kitchen design in the future and have learnt a lot of skills that I did not have when I started the course.

Our honours project gave us the freedom to create our own brief using a previous building that we found in our Site Analysis project. I decided to create a safe space for female Black and Asian domestic or sexual abuse survivors. The Site Analysis project helped in giving me the confidence to decide my own direction and purpose for this final project and aided in my development process.
