  I entered a national TOPSHOP live competition during my final year of university where I created a hypothetical concept for their store opening in the heart of L.A. I was then shortlisted as one of the finalists where I had the privilege of being mentored by Start JG and their design team in Manchester. I then visited TOPSHOP's London headquarters where I was shown the final resolved store design.
