I am an interior designer and homeware buyer with years of experience in the interiors sector.
I&apos;ve lived and worked in Dubai for many years, both as an interior designer and homeware buyer. Whilst there, I worked on the launch of several high end furniture showrooms and the stand-alone home store of the first Bloomingdale&apos;s department store outside of the US. I loved my time in Dubai and gained a huge amount of valuable experience.
Upon returning to the UK, I set up an online homeware boutique, for which I sourced handmade items from around the world. This was also a wonderful experience and taught me so much about the world of online retail and marketing.
I now work as a purchasing and product development manager for an independent interior design company, a job which I really enjoy.
I would now like to help small creative businesses to establish their online presence, and can use all the experience I have gained to help with brand positioning, product selection, pricing, website feedback, marketing strategies and more.
