Summary
Interior designer with 10 years delivering hotels, restaurants and high-end apartments in Italy, the UK and the Gulf. I take projects from concept and mood boards through layouts, FF&E specification and detailed drawings to site supervision and handover. I keep a close eye on budget and programme, work with brand standards from Marriott and Accor, and choose materials that meet fire, acoustic and sustainability requirements without losing character.
