Lovely, Lovely, Lovely

I have always been interested in art and design, so following an Arts foundation course after A levels, I studied interior design at Middlesex Polytechnic, from which I graduated with a B.A. honours degree in 1990. During my time at college I studied a multitude of subjects that have been essential to my work to date, including furniture design, lighting design, architecture, surveying and technical drawing. Before I graduated, I had already carried out some exterior design projects for I.C.I., who were very complimentary about it.

After graduation, I split my time between working on commercial design and construction projects in London and the M25 corridor and nurturing my first love, which is garden design. In the commercial projects, I grew my knowledge of construction methods, design and landscaping, and I took many excellent opportunities to sharpen my presentation skills.
