Two minute interview

What job would you do if not IT?

My dream job would be working for the designer, Matthew Williamson. I find the way he works with colour, texture and surface of textiles really inspirational.

What are your favourite pastimes?

I have an eBay obsession. I collect all kinds of things as I work on the interior design of my small flat. It was completely bare when I got it – not even doors or carpet. I also like collecting ideas on Pinterest. I started out in fashion and although it wasn’t ultimately for me I like a creative outlet. I haven’t made clothes for a while but get the sewing machine out to mend clothes that friends aren’t ready to throw out just yet.

Likes and dislikes

I really love London and have done since my mum first brought me on visits. It is so vibrant and lively. I love it’s vibe, there is always something new and lively to explore. I like Beyoncé, not just for her music, but because she is strong. I dislike people who edge in front when you are already standing by the tube train doors.

Proudest achievements?

I am proud of myself and where I am, having switched careers. I have a small group of friends and family, but they mean a lot to me and I feel very proud of them.

Earliest memory

Falling over into nettles in the garden and getting stung all over.
