During my time at GastroNorth Ltd, I worked as the Senior CAD Designer, leading the development of technical design drawings and layouts for a wide range of high-profile hospitality projects. Over several years, I was responsible for producing detailed commercial kitchen and hospitality design packages, coordinating closely with consultants, contractors, and equipment suppliers to ensure accurate and buildable solutions. Throughout my role, I contributed to projects ranging from major Premier League football stadium hospitality facilities to international hotel chains and Michelin-starred restaurants, delivering high-quality CAD drawings, equipment layouts, and coordinated service plans. My work played a key role in transforming conceptual ideas into fully detailed technical designs ready for construction, ensuring compliance with industry standards while maintaining efficient and practical kitchen workflows. This experience allowed me to develop strong expertise in commercial kitchen design, technical coordination, and large-scale hospitality projects, working with some of the most recognised brands and venues within the foodservice industry.
