Meet the team: Sam Alldus

Layrd Design Ltd


Meet Sam, our new Junior Interior Designer here at Layrd. Hear more on his journey, where he gets inspiration and what the future could look like.

 

Tell us a little about your experience as an interior designer.

 

As a recent graduate from Interior Architecture and Design, this is my first role purely focusing on just interiors. Though I haven’t previously focused on interior design, I see myself as a flexible designer having studied Product Design, Graphics and art before University, I have a range of different perspectives and approaches to design.


Is Interior Design something you always wanted to do?

 

Honestly, I have never been sure what I wanted to do, but I have always wanted to be a designer. Since I was a child, I have always wanted to make things from my imagination, from playing with Lego to making furniture during my A levels, design has always been a passion, and I just kept wanting to go bigger. While researching courses within architecture, I felt as if the industry didn’t fall in line with my views on sustainability, which is when I turned my focus to the reuse and adaption of existing spaces.



Where do you get your inspiration?

 

I base my design ethos on a lot of my favourite designers, specifically Charles and Ray Eames, as well as principles from the likes of Bauhaus. I feel it's important that the purpose and function of a space is established before the aesthetic, as the priority of a design should be something which works well and lasts. When considering the look and feel of a space, I always look to fit the client's needs and trends to create what I would consider the best possible designs.

                                                                                                                               

Why did you want to work at Layrd?

 

When looking for my first job as a designer, it was important that I found a job that suited my morals as a designer while also providing an environment to grow and learn as a designer. Layrd offered this and more to me, making it a no-brainer! During the interview, it was clear the company would be a great place for me to learn while making great connections and doing something I loved.


What are you looking forward to once you’ve settled?

 

I cannot wait to start working on a range of unique projects to discover myself as a designer and grow as a person. I will be looking to get stuck into as many experiences as I can.

 

Get in touch!
