Abigail
Junior Interior Designer
Abigail joined Cranberryhome in September 2023 as a Junior Interior Designer. Hot from University, achieving a first class honours degree in Interior Architecture and Design at the University of Lincoln, Abigail is keen to help clients with realising their dream homes.
Abigail gets her inspiration from playing around with shadows, textures, colours, light and nature which she says "invigorates her passion" for interior design.

Work Experience Courses and opportunities
We often get asked for opportunities for work experience from colleges to people looking to get into the industry. We offer from time to time placements from 1 day to up to a week. If you are interested in how we can help you, do get in touch. Unfortunately we do not sponsor anyone under 18, sorry if this is you. Do follow our work on socials until then!
Our introduction to interior design courses have in the past been really successful, we offer unique 2 day courses in small numbers and include site visits to actual fit outs for that real experience. These have proved really useful as some interior design courses can be quite expensive.
We are always looking for new talent, so if you are interested in working with us, have a creative flair, practical skills, confident and sense of humour, get in touch with your CV today.
