Imogen McIntosh-Roffey.
I have recently graduated from Kingston University with First Class Honours in BA Interior Design. Originally from East Sussex, my journey into spatial design was ignited by my award-winning set design for The Royal Opera House Design Challenge in 2019. Since then, my enthusiasm for crafting captivating spaces has flourished. Amidst the pandemic, I seized the opportunity to delve into entrepreneurship as a creative individual, nurturing a small business that I continue to grow and develop today.
As an Interior Designer, I am deeply committed to exploring the intricate relationship between sustainable materials, natural phenomena, and user demographics to craft sensorial spaces that enhance the user experience.
My Final Major Project at university delves into the potential of a circular economy, emphasising adaptive reuse and the repurposing of existing materials to preserve cultural heritage and promote sustainability. Moreover, my design philosophy prioritises the creation of thoughtfully constructed interiors that foster social interaction and communication. By integrating cultural and ergonomic considerations, I strive for my designs to play a pivotal role in shaping environments that support diverse social activities, thereby enriching our communal experiences and strengthening societal bonds.
