About me
I am an Interiors & Homeware design expert, with over 20 years experience from designer to head of department, working across product design in both supply and retail environments and are currently self employed. I set up an Interior design & Home staging business in 2021 however I am looking for a senior role in a product design environment.
My skill set is wide and varied from trend forecasting, through all stages of product development to on shelf presentation, my latter roles have been part of senior leadership teams where responsibilities included strategy and budget ownership.
My roles have always been customer centric with roles interfacing with multiple categories such as procurement, marketing, technical, buying and financial which has helped me understand the importance of building cross functional relationships with in relevant businesses.
Whilst I now work in the interiors environment I have experience of developing product categories beyond homewares such as gifting, health & beauty, fashion accessories and electrical goods to name a few.
My previous roles have also been responsible for the merchandising of these ranges in store environments.
On the supply side I have managed products and teams whilst developing ranges for own label clients and in these roles there has been responsibility for account management, trend direction, product development/sourcing and cost/budgets.
I am a personable, calm yet passionate character with a love for all things design and would appreciate the opportunity to explore any new roles in which I can foster new ideas, inspire teams and create best in class products.
