From Interior Design to Enterprise Retail Strategy

I began my career in Interior Design and Architecture, developing an understanding of how physical spaces influence customer behaviour, operational effectiveness and business outcomes.

That foundation evolved into feasibility planning and retail development projects across the UK and Northern Ireland through Tesco, where I progressed from architectural planning into operational planning and process improvement initiatives.

Today, as a Lead Specialist in Space Presentation & Transition at Target, I focus on operational execution, workflow visibility, stakeholder coordination and enterprise retail performance.

Alongside my professional responsibilities, I am pursuing an MBA in Business Intelligence & Analytics to deepen my expertise in data-driven decision making, process optimisation and business strategy.
