He added: “During this time I was studying for my HNC in Social Care where I gained a work placement with Capability Scotland - an organisation who support adults who have learning and mobility difficulties. Working with adults who have accessibility needs made me appreciate I take my independence for granted, that’s when my interest in design developed to focus on the adaption of space.

“With a particular interest in bathrooms I decided to get some work experience with a bathroom fitting company which subsequently led to me completing an NVQ in Domestic Plumbing and Heating.

“I’m now well into my educational journey studying NC Interior Architecture, which will help develop my drawing an interior design skills – an integral piece to the puzzle before building my own bespoke bathroom design company.

“I’m thoroughly enjoying the course, it’s is not just an academic journey, it’s personal journey - you feel like you’re coming home as you get to meet and engage with people who all have the same interest as you.
