This lavish Cocktail Cabinet I designed for the Couture Collection has several details while remaining elegant and functional. The exterior frame is walnut veneered with a gloss finish and leads you into the leather panelled push to open doors. The solid walnut legs tapper
down to the polished metal capped feet. The internal cabinet has been flocked lined throughout the cabinet and has two LED lights at the top. Inside also includes glass shelves,
mirrored back and a push to open flocked drawer with a white Corian lift flap cutting board on top with a walnut dividers tray inside.

Wall Storage
On SketchUp and Vectorworks I designed and produced
manufacturing drawings for a modular shelving unit that expands
across the wall. Each unique box will be made from MDF with a split
baton on the back. The design also includes 4 flexible partition boxes
and 3 walnut boxes.
‘Your Position’ is an inclusive design product that focuses on improving physical and mental wellbeing in the office environment. The workspace system is completely adjustable depending on the users preference or individual needs. The design seeks to blur the
division between commercial and domestic environments in a bid to create a product inspired by home/office.

While at university I was selected to work with VitrA, Lab4Living, British Council, Sheffield Hallam University and Istanbul Technical University. I undertook research into the challenges of an ageing
population in the bathroom environment and created the graphical side of the research exhibition in Istanbul. This required IT proficiency,
communication skills, knowledge of future design trends as well as dealing with language barriers.
