About

Professional summary

I am an experienced Interior Landscaper with a passion for transforming corporate environments through biophilic design. My journey has taken me from managing high-profile installations for clients like Shell PLC and the University of Bradford to leading bespoke furniture design projects in Kenya. I pride myself on my ability to adapt installations in real-time based on client feedback, ensuring that both aesthetic and functional requirements are met. My background in project management and design has equipped me with the skills necessary to handle diverse client needs while maintaining high-quality standards.

In my previous role as a Head Joiner and Lead CAD Designer, I combined my creative skills with strong project management to deliver exceptional furniture and cabinetry. I engineered detailed CAD designs that reduced design time by 30%, enhancing production efficiency. Mentoring a team of joiners, I ensured superior craftsmanship and adherence to high-quality standards. My experience in creating realistic 3D models and high-quality renders has significantly improved client presentations and marketing materials.

Before my design career, I served as a Junior Deck Officer with MSC Cruises, where I led administrative processes and implemented training programs on health and safety awareness. My role involved identifying and mitigating operational risks while promoting a safe workplace culture. I also prepared detailed operational reports for senior management, driving strategic decision-making.

My academic background includes a Master's in Town and Regional Planning from Leeds Beckett University, where I developed a deep interest in sustainability and regeneration. I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Maritime Transport from the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport, which has provided me with a solid foundation in navigation and maritime operations.

I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, as evidenced by my recent completion of a Fundamentals of GIS certificate. I believe that my diverse skill set, combined with my dedication to enhancing environments, makes me a valuable asset in the field of interior landscaping.
