Hey there! So if you are new to Upcycle Interiors or haven't had the pleasure of using our services yet, let me introduce myself!
I have always had an interest in building things out of recycled materials. During my time at University back in the 2000's, studying Architecture, I completed many personal projects including building an 'earth oven', pallet decking, and even outdoor furniture before completely redesigning and renovating my unloved and neglected one-bedroom flat in East London in 2006 using upcycled and reclaimed materials - all the while still living in it! I took a hands on approach, conducting all of the work myself (except specialist trades: plumbing, electrics and stone flooring).
After training architecturally for 7 years, I eventually left my Senior Design Manager job in the big city to build my own path in the form of Upcycle Interiors Ltd. I went from being a sole trader to a Limited Company in 2018.
Using my extensive skills in architecture, design, consruction and carpentry I became my own boss in order to concentrate on personalised property renovations and work with the history and feel of a building to create concepts that respect the materials and story of the property.
I now move between the drawing board, CAD station, drill, hammer and saw. Â I no longer confine my lifelong passion, refined style and creativity to sketches and drawings; Â I see projects through from conception to completion... I have grown from being a solo handyman to working with a trusted team of local traders and managing projects as well as getting hands-on, which means we can carry out almost any job required!
I have had the pleasure of meeting and carrying out work for many wonderful customers, in Weymouth and the Surrounding areas, and back in London.
