Hello..

..and welcome to my blog. 

I am a mature (not entirely sure exactly when that happened?)  student studying for a BA (Hons) degree in Interior Design at Harrogate College. I am in my  3rd and final year (the one that counts!! eek). I am also a mum to 2 boys, aged almost 5 and 7. I worked as a food technologist for over 15 years within large food companies and latterly for a large retailer before leaving to take some time off to have children. (Time off is the incorrect terminology by the way, there was no 'time off' to be had). 

That said, time out can be a dangerous (and a useful) thing as it gives you time to sit back and contemplate what exactly you are doing with your life. I have always loved design, whether it be in Art, Fashion, Interiors, Architecture etc..yet felt I wasn't really involved in any kind of design career. I had recently extended and renovated my family home in Harrogate and this give me some practical experience to apply my creative side. I had some really complimentary feedback and it was then that I decided that I wanted to progress with a change in career. Exciting and quite frankly frightening at the same time. 

It didn't take me long to realise I had made the right choice. 

A long with Interior Design my interests are travel, food and wine, and yoga.

So here I am, and would like to share the journey of my final year with you. My inspiration, thoughts, challenges and anything else apparent.


I hope you enjoy,

Jo
