Summary

As an experienced HR and People professional with deep-rooted passion for creativity, I am eagerly seeking a transition into a career in interior design. While my background lies in people management, I have always been drawn to design and aesthetics, with a keen eye for detail, a love for colour and texture, and an innate talent for creating beautiful and functional spaces. Transferrable skills include exceptional communication, organisation, project management abilities and proficiency in handing different assignments while keeping a keen eye on the finer details. Previous customer service and sales experience have instilled the importance of customer satisfaction, retention, and maintaining a strong company reputation.
