Lucy Oliver
BA (Hons) Interior Design
I am an interior designer that has a passion for designing commercial and civic spaces with the people who use them. I believe that focusing on the users in commercial and civic spaces can benefit the design greatly as well as the experience for the users. It requires an empathic, considered approach to designing and when executed well, creates completely bespoke, highly functional spaces that radiate positivity. Inclusivity and wellness are two huge factors that I always consider and focus on when designing. By using a user centred mindset and elevating their voices, opinions and experiences great interiors can easily be achieved in all commercial and civic spaces. This mindset is something I have used in all my designs and plan to continue using in the future.
‘Refocus’ is a clear example of how I design with users in mind. By diving into my users world I could then empathise with them and create a positive, practical design that will benefit every person that uses into my space.
