Beaumont Mill Antiques & Collectibles

At Beaumont Mill Antiques & Collectibles, my role extends into a form of curating, storytelling and preservation of small histories. Although some aspects may seem unconventional within design, my work here has become a deeply formative part of my practice. Working within a space defined by history, I've learned how to approach design as a way of translating memory into experience. Within the space, I design and curate displays that consider composition, material relationships and the resonance of objects in proximity. I often work in tandem with visiting designers and set decorators from the film and TV industry to aid in finding items that suit their needs. In addition to assisting with social media content, I have recently been building a rebrand and website build that feels fresh while maintaining our values of care, sense of place, connection, and existing identity within the community. This way of working has allowed me to reshape what I interpret a design role to be, and has deepened my values of slowness, tactility and meaning behind creating.
