Interior UK 2013

For the past few days I have been exhibiting my work at Interiors UK at the Birmingham NEC. It has been so exciting to get my work out again and talk to so many different people who were all so friendly and encouraging. I was lucky enough to win a competition to be able to show my work at this huge show so my advice to anyone is to always, always, always apply for competitions, even if you think you are not in with a chance, as you just never know! 

This was my set up for the show!

Lots to catch up on!

For the past 3 months I have been working for a Design Consultancy called Forpeople. I have been working as part of their CMF team (Colour, Materials and Finishes) doing lots of trend and new materials research. This is something very different from what I have ever done before! I was able to work on projects for big  brands such as Dell, BA, Tata and Coke which were all totally different and quite demanding. It was exciting being let in on the secrets of these brands which obviously I won't be letting slip! It was a great experience and I learnt a lot but also found I missed designing and making things!
