“Being promoted by the already well known name of 'Tent London' meant that a lot people had heard about my work before visiting the stand and the level of exposure was amazing. The most exciting part for me was being able to exhibit alongside such acclaimed designers and established businesses - Tent felt like a real hub of creativity. I could not have had a more encouraging and supported start to my career in the design industry.”
