I am an interior designer from beautiful Cape Town in South Africa.I specialise in interiors and furniture. Experienced in the luxury end of the international private client market for residential and hotels. All of my projects are uniquely bespoke. Utilizing the emotional effect that design can have on the end user to deliver unique life experiences.My design has a simple aesthetic. This is the result of perfection being pursued through a process of elimination, until only the quintessential remain. Revealing honesty of purpose for meaning.Over the past two decades I have been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to work with some amazing private clients on prestigious projects around the world.The highlight of my career was for my work to be included as one of the top 100 interior designers in the world in both of the Andrew Martin Design Reviews 15+17, referred to as 'The bible of interior design' by The New York Times.I have a Bachelor Degree of Technology in interior design. I am capable of the entire process and business of design. My special skills are concept design, process and finance.Working on luxury interiors I prioritize exceptional outcomes. Focusing on creativity with authenticity. Interpersonal relationships, with humility and empathy. My working methodology is detailed, technology driven and systems orientated. This ensures professional, effective, organized work of high quality. I am solutions driven through research, analysis and strategy. Independent, decisive, confident and self-motivated, I value independence and freedom. I am equally comfortable working independently or with-in a collaborative team. I prefer an informal work environment, where creativity and best ideas thrive. I have good communication and time management skills. I am presentable and resistant to stress. I would like to see myself as dedicated, loyal, trustworthy, honest and hard working. My personal passion is to pursue purpose and meaning through extraordinary life experiences and to continuously improve myself.I am proficient in English, Afrikaans and Dutch(A1).I am proficient in AutoCad, a beginner in Archicad and keen to learn Revit, Sketch Up and lumion.
