ABOUT CHLOE
As a designer, I specialise in designing innovative and functional furniture and interiors, with expertise in prototyping, 3D visualisation, and material exploration. I thrive in fast-paced environments, meeting deadlines through a solution-oriented approach, and ensuring every detail is well considered. My work combines a deep understanding of sustainability and aesthetics to create designs that meet the needs of clients, and end users. My experience spans bespoke and mass-produced furniture for retail, hospitality and build to rent projects.
DESIGN TIMELINE
DESIGNER
DEKA (2.10 YEARS + ONGOING)
As the sole designer, I have been responsible for leading the design and development of products, creating in-house designs while collaborating with external designers, suppliers, and manufacturers. I’ve played a key role in the company’s growth, helping it expand from launch to a 9-person team within a year. My role combines innovation, technical expertise, and creative direction, ensuring a smooth transition from concept to production. Additionally, I play a key role post-design, generating ideas and supporting the execution of photoshoots, exhibitions, and events in collaboration with the marketing team.
