NAO HEFFERNAN

As a recent graduate with an Honours degree in Interior Architecture from Curtin University, my career objective is to apply my passion for exploring the profound impact of space on people’s experiences. I am particularly interested in biophilic design for its relationship with the environment and believe that interior architecture is key to a more sustainable future. My interest in biophilic design has led me to explore the use of natural materials and other techniques to create spaces that foster a strong connection between people and nature, ultimately enhancing well-being. In addition, my passion for early childhood spaces has inspired my research project in honours stream. I am inspired by the detailed and thoughtful design, creating spaces that not only look great, but also function well and meet the needs of people. I strive to understand how people interact with their surroundings and tailor my designs to meet their unique needs.

 

One of my achievements was having my project selected for the esteemed OUA Student Showcase Exhibition in 2022, an experience that highlighted my dedication and capabilities. 

 

Throughout my online studies, I have developed valuable skills in time management, prioritisation, organisation, and dedication, for which I am genuinely grateful. I am eager to continue my journey of learning and growth in the field of interior architecture, embracing every opportunity to further refine my abilities.
