About Me
“I started my career as a teacher, but always had a passion and keen eye for art, colour, and design. I think it was inevitable that I would switch over to design. I find inspiration everywhere; from nature, a piece of art, or leading-edge architecture. I enjoy keeping my creativity flowing by visiting galleries, meeting artists and learning their stories, and connecting with different people from all walks of life. I am passionate about eco-friendly design so regularly attend trade shows and look out for innovative materials and suppliers. I look to make sustainable choices and try to work with local suppliers in order to reduce the carbon footprint of each project, which to an extent can also influence the overall design. With Ryan Interiors, I started my own interior design practice so I could create beautiful interiors in a sustainable way. I have been lucky enough to work on exciting residential and commercial projects.
Why You Should Believe Ryan Interiors?
I try to understand my clients and what they are uniquely looking for, and I enjoy injecting aspects of their personality and stories into the design. I love colour and pattern so you will see that in my work. I explore different textures and materials and find that unexpected combinations can result in space that is more exciting and memorable. I like to incorporate elements of art and where possible, examples of fine craftsmanship such as bespoke joinery and marquetry.”
Great Attention To Detail
I Innovate And Bring New Possibilities In The Interior Design Of Each House
“I believe that designing someone’s dream home is a combination of Art, Science and Psychology, creating spaces that enhance productivity and wellbeing through well considered research and planning. The psychology looks into the best way of using the space according to the users needs and lifestyle. The science looks into optimising this to make the most out of the space efficiently and enhancing it through mediums such as technology. Art is putting this all together in a beautiful and engaging way.”
I'm Specialized in The Management of Interior Design & Furniture Projects
I try to make indoor spaces functional, safe, and beautiful by determining space requirements and selecting essential and decorative items, such as colors, lighting, and materials. I am able to draw, read, and edit blueprints. I’m also aware of building codes, inspection, regulations, and other considerations, such as accessibility standards.
I am excellent in doing the following duties:
- Search for and bid on new projects
- Determine the client’s goals and requirements for the project
- Consider how the space will be used and how people will move through the space
- Sketch preliminary design plans, including electrical and partition layouts
- Specify materials and furnishings, such as lighting, furniture, wall finishes, flooring, and plumbing fixtures
- Create a timeline for the interior design project and estimate project costs
- Place orders for materials and oversee the installation of the design elements
- Oversee construction and coordinate with general building contractors to implement the plans and specifications for the project
- Visit the site after the project is complete, to ensure that the client is satisfied
I work closely with architects, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, and construction laborers and helpers to determine how interior spaces will function, look, and be furnished. I read blueprints and must be aware of building codes and inspection regulations.
Although some sketches may be freehand, most of the time I use computer-aided design (CAD) software for most of their drawings. Throughout the design process, I often use building information modeling (BIM) software to create three-dimensional visualizations that include construction elements such as walls or roofs.
I’m specialized in particular types of buildings, such as homes, hospitals, or hotels; specific rooms, such as bathrooms or kitchens; or a specific style. I work for home-furnishings stores, providing design services to help customers choose materials and furnishings.
I produce designs, plans, and drawings for construction and installation. These products include information for construction and demolition, electrical layouts, and building permits. I draft the preliminary design into documents ranging from simple sketches to construction schedules and attachments.
