What was your most challenging project to work on and why?:
Our first project in Jeddah was both our greatest challenge and our most significant triumph. Overcoming language barriers and the immense logistical feat of air-freighting bespoke elements, we delivered a flawless on-site installation. This experience became the blueprint for our studio’s approach to complex, high-stakes international projects.
Which products/services could you not live without when designing?:
When designing, we rely on a few key partners and products that consistently deliver quality and reliability. We prioritize materials and finishes that offer consistency and excellence, because it’s the details that make all the difference in the final result.
What are your aims and goals for the next twelve months?:
Our goal is to continue delivering exceptional, high-quality projects in London while continuing expanding our portfolio into the Middle East.
We are entering a phase of intentional growth, seeking out new opportunities that challenge our technical design capabilities and allow us to redefine luxury living across diverse global markets.
Your most treasured possession?:
My family, and above all my two girls. They mean everything to me and are my greatest treasure.
Your favourite holiday destination?:
I’m a sun-seeker at heart. While I’m based in London, I head to the tropics whenever possible.
My family and I love traveling to sunny, tropical destinations, but Ibiza is the place we return to every year. As professional scuba divers, my husband and I—along with our kids—are always looking for our next underwater adventure. There’s something about the clarity and colors of the ocean that constantly inspires my design work.
Your favourite hotel, restaurant & bar?:
Hotel: Six Senses Hotel, Ibiza – A masterclass in “utopian village” design. I love how they used terracotta tones and natural stone to camouflage the structure into the rugged Xarraca Bay cliffs.
Restaurant: Noci, Battersea Power Station – My go-to for incredible Sicilian food. The juxtaposition of authentic, handmade pasta against the iconic, industrial scale of the Turbine Hall B creates a stunning architectural dining setting.
Bar: The Connaught Bar – An old favourite that defines balance. The David Collins Studio interior—with its platinum silver leaf walls and 1920s Cubist influences—remains a masterclass in elegance that never feels dated.
Your favourite book, film & song?:
Book: The Architecture of Happiness by Alain de Botton. It’s a designer’s staple that explores how the spaces we inhabit shape our wellbeing.
Film: The Great Beauty (La Grande Bellezza).
Song: The Girl from Ipanema.
Your favourite food and drink?:
Food: Pasta
Drink: I am very much of a tea person; I love green tea and all the other herbal teas.
Your favourite way to spend an afternoon?:
My favourite way to spend an afternoon is with my family, enjoying a walk in the park and a takeaway coffee together.
If you weren’t in this sector, what would your alternative profession be?:
I’d be running a scuba diving centre in the tropics. My husband and I always dreamt of a life by the sea, and since we’re both avid divers, there’s something incredibly appealing about trading site visits for reef explorations and building a community centered around our love for the ocean.
