With more than 18 years in the interior design field and a wealth of experience in the workplace design and strategy environment I lead a team of highly skilled designers to create unique interiors for all our clients. We as _novospace have completed numerous projects around South Africa and into Africa.Although all of my projects are dear to me, I am particularly proud of our workplace design for RCL foods head office in Durban, South Africa. I was involved in this project from inception to completion as the design and technical lead. We were rewarded with three international design awards for this project to date. I have proven experience in large complex interior design fit outs ranging from residential to hospitality with a specialisation in workplace design.I have 12 years experience at management level having been a director of sketch design from mid 2009 to mid 2015 and managing director at novospace from mid 2015 to current. I am currently a majority shareholder in novospace and run the practice with two other Directors. We have a team of 6 exceptional designers and other relevant administrators and graphics teams. Novospace completes work across the commercial and hospitality sectors, however our focus is on workplace environments and creating return on design investment for our clients.I believe in creating interiors that facilitate the connection of people with their space and each other. I believe that as a designer it is my responsibility to focus on evoking emotion and personal experience whilst being considered, innovative, highly functional and sustainable. As a leader I believe in creating a work environment that is grounded in trust and co-operation, an ethos that encourages and guides staff to work at their natural best.I continue to complete research on an ongoing basis as I feel it is extremely important to understand all clients in an ever changing environment, and believe considered, sustainable design is pertinent to all projects we work on. I am currently completing research in how we can design with circular economy in mind._areas of expertise + business development and culture facilitator + workplace space planning and strategy + creating workplace environments to deliver and inspire + creating environments for + work environment change management + leadership + business generation and marketing_other interests + architecture + the future of work and the integration of tech + hospitality environments + sport + coffee and a magazine
