Sophia is an interior designer and artist from Glasgow, Scotland. During her studies, she has flourished into a confident, well-rounded person, leading her to many opportunities to express herself creatively through various works within the industry. Her passions lie in storytelling through photography, sketching, rendering, and model making, with a precious, consistent documentation of her work in progress. Her ethos advocates for the rebirth of forgotten spaces while propelling a positive design narrative that fits the future. Through mixed methods of digging deep into what-once-was while thinking ahead, addressing issues such as consumerism, suppression of creative freedom, sustainability, and the post-Covid world, she is able to create worlds for others while invigorating her own world with a fire to keep pushing the boundaries of what the new-found interior can and will be.
