Learning

I was about to start this blog by saying that I have always loved learning but then I paused; that isn’t 100% accurate. I actually really didn’t enjoy learning at school. As a child I found sitting still for hours and around other people incredibly difficult. It wasn’t until I entered Sixth Form and had more freedom to choose from a wider selection of subjects that I really started to enjoy learning. The subject that really ignited my joy of learning was at A level studying Psychology, which is ironic because it wasn’t my first choice – I had started studying Biology and just found it impossible to understand what the teacher was saying let alone understand the complex processes she was trying to teach. I begged to change; by chance a space had opened in the Psychology class and I convinced them to let me switch. I am so pleased they did because I then went onto read Applied Psychology & Computing at Bournemouth University.

One of the key skills I have as an interior designer is being able to extract from your brain and Pinterest board or magazine tear outs is a clear design for your space – sounds like a magic solution right? Well sort of! It’s actually more practical than that. It’s years of practice, experience, holding a directory of trusted suppliers and the ability to clearly form excellent relationships my clients.
