Yvonne Hutchinson Smyth

Winner of the Interior Designer of the year competition 2006

I have always had a keen interest in art and design and when I left school I studied animation for a couple of years. I had always been looking up local college courses for an Interior Design course and when finally one came to W.I.T., I jumped at the chance to study this by night, as it has always been my passion. I graduated from The Design Ecademy with a first class distinction, which was such an achievement to me personally. From here I set up my company, which I named “Designer Instinct”. I have found it tough enough to get off the ground but am gradually branching out and getting busier everyday.
