My work at AKD focused on luxury hotels and high-end residences worldwide. As part of the team I’ve worked with many major hotel operators, from simple guest room refurbishments to complex renovations and re-branding.. The work I was involved with demanded a high degree of organization and a hands-on approach from the initial concept to completion. I was involved with projects from the initial masterplan to purchasing including the finer details like graphics and signage designs. My specific roles included:

Working as part of a team designing luxury hotel interiors from start to finish. 

Liaising with clients and suppliers, ensuring deadlines were met and records were kept. 

Researching and sourcing new companies and products, keeping a library of available products as a reference for other office members.

Preparing graphic design packages, which included logo design, carpet design and graphical artwork.
