• Interior Designer

  • Feb 2013 - Feb 2014

  When I started at Richmond I began working on the new P&O cruise ship Britannia, which has enabled me to adapt into the various sectors of design within one project however this was predominantly in the hospitality sector. I had to learn microstaion from the ground up which I felt I picked up quickly, with ease and proved to myself that I can adapt and learn new computer software with ease. Working for a larger company like Richmond has given me an insight of both how large scale jobs are executed and how these are managed on a daily basis, working here gave me time to meticulously look at detailed elements in more depth. I attended regular CPD with various manufacturers from tiles to bathroom products to new innovative applications. Some key functions of the role include: • Assisting with the production of drawing packages and detailed specification. • Coordinate with catering and lighting consultants, visualisers and P&O new build consultants. • Selection of appropriate finishes in lieu of over specified materials at cost evaluation stages of the process. • Leasing with FF&E designers on lighting, furniture and soft finishes. • Responding to queries and issues from the appointed contractor and supplying further information and research.
