Architecture & Interior Design Tutoring, Portfolio and Career Mentoring

From 97 C$ /h

Struggling with your design project, portfolio, or next career step? Let’s work through it together!
I’m a practising Interior Designer with a RIBA Part 2 architectural background, experience in leading UK design practices, and previous university-level teaching experience.

Whether you’re preparing for university, currently studying, or starting your design career, I offer personalised one-to-one guidance in:

University Applications: Creative portfolio development and preparation.

Design Tutoring: Concept development, critical thinking, space planning, Revit, technical drawings and visualisation.

Career Mentoring: Professional portfolios, CV development and interview preparation.

My approach is simple: I don’t just teach software or tell you what to do. I help you think creatively, develop confidence and discover your own design direction.

Let’s turn your ideas into something you’re proud of!

Extra information

Please send me your project brief and any current drawings, sketches or portfolio pages before the lesson where possible. This allows me to understand your project beforehand so we can make the most of our tutorial time. All levels and stages of projects are welcome.

About Me

I am a practising Interior Designer and RIBA Part 2 architectural graduate based in London, with previous experience teaching Interior Design at university level in Malaysia.

I am naturally creative, curious and very passionate about design. I love thinking outside the box and looking at a design problem from different perspectives. As a tutor, I am friendly, patient and collaborative. I don’t believe in simply telling a student what the “right answer” is. Instead, I like asking questions, discussing ideas and helping students discover a direction that feels genuinely their own.

One of my biggest passions is graphics, portfolio design and visual storytelling. I really enjoy helping students turn their ideas, research and drawings into clear and beautiful presentations that communicate the story behind their design.

I am also particularly interested in materials, sustainability and how people experience buildings and interior spaces. I encourage students to consider not only how something looks, but why they are designing it, who they are designing for, how materials perform and how their decisions affect people and the environment.

Having studied in the UK, taught at university in Malaysia and worked professionally within leading UK architecture and interior design practices, I can bring both academic and real-world perspectives to my tutorials.

I particularly enjoy working with Interior Design, Interior Architecture and Architecture students who want to develop their ideas, improve their portfolios, prepare for crits or simply need a fresh pair of eyes when they feel stuck.

Most importantly, I want my tutorials to be a comfortable space where you can discuss ideas openly, experiment, ask questions and become more confident in your own identity as a designer.
