Tell us a little about your background in design:
After leaving college I began working as an estate agent, from here my passion for properties grew.

How important are The International Design & Architecture Awards?
I think it is important for industry professionals to be recognised for their hard work and to have the opportunity to share their work with others and the International Design & Architecture Awards is a great opportunity for this.

What projects are you currently working on?
Current projects include a large residential property in Virginia Water, a 10 bedroom 16^th century property in Bedfordshire and a luxury villa with guest apartment in Cap Ferrat.

What was your favourite project to work on and why?
Our project in Monaco, the location was stunning, and the clients were a pleasure to work with. This was a Neoclassical style property that required a full renovation, and it was great to see the transformation.

The Bromptons, Fulham – this was a very large and dark property and required a lot of work to make it light and contemporary as the client requested.

Which products/services could you not live without when designing?
Lighting, it never fails to set the mood for a room.

What are your aims and goals for the next twelve months?
To redesign our showroom and offices as well as expand our team. We’ve got some really exciting projects in the pipeline so it will be all hands-on deck.
