Personal Statement

Creativity and designing has interested me from a young age, but the past couple of years I have been mainly loving interior design. (This started from Interior designers who I found through the blogging community like Erin Gates who is the founder of Erin Gates Design who adds like to all types of Interiors making them modern yet traditional spaces whilst working to all budge sizes.) I love that she can adapt any design to go with the client's needs. I am currently studying a UAL Art and Design extended course, an online Interior Design course, I also keep a blog based on, beauty and lifestyle. I always keep my eyes open for unique and beautiful ideas which I can place into practice in the years to come. I have been writing a blog for three years now and have a reasonable audience size. I would like to eventually include more interior design posts, gain a bigger audience and get paid so I can fund the business. I am very socialable and organised, which will help me to run my own business linked to interior design. With the courses I am doing, they are helping me. To understand planning, designing and layouts. I am motivated to do my best at everything I do and to grow my business to the best it can be, to do this is am looking in library's business and interior design books, blogs, and talking to self-employed businesses for any tips. I have worked as a paper girl, in a cafè with apartments which I was required to clean and have had work experience in an interior design shop and a disability school which all helped me to understand how business works and how much I like to keep busy and succeed. I am generally known for my positivity and taking opportunities which are given to me. Since 2005 I've been part of Girl Guiding and have been chosen to take part in international events in Switzerland and Austria which I have been great experiences to see interiors in different cultures and I was able to be a group leader and take part in a range of activities which inspired me with colours, patterns and unique ideas. Having experience in these have helped me grow into a responsible and reliable person, and I am motivated to build up my own interior design business and being self employed will help me gain confidence and will show these responsibilities. I am going start by starting a Etsy shop online to earn enough contacts, money and experience to have my own shop, I will be mainly getting customers from my blog which will be a good way of getting my business out there.
