Tell us a little about your background in design:
I grew up surrounded by art, antiques and vintage fairs. My father’s property business and passion for collecting objects rubbed off on me early and I spent countless weekends hunting through fairs with him. In my teens, I worked for antiques dealers assisting in buying and selling furniture and objet d’art. This early exposure gave me, by osmosis, an appreciation of the value of beautiful objects and an understanding of many styles, periods and influences in interior design and art.
After studying European Business Administration in London, I spent ten years working in asset management for global financial institutions. Whilst working in the city, I honed my creative skills in my own time by investing in and developing property in the UK, Germany and France, building up an extensive network of design, trade and workshop contacts in the process.
After leaving my career in finance, I trained at the Inchbald School of Design and in 2009, I turned my passion for renovation, decoration and furniture into a profession through founding my studio Claudia Dorsch Interiors , we are a BIID registered interiors practise.
I am fluent in German and French and have worked with clients across the UK, Europe and the United States on residential and commercial projects ranging from one off furniture commissions to designing and managing multi year new build projects. The combination of analytical, organisational and creative skills coupled with an innate energy and drive come to the fore when creating and managing complex projects as an interior design consultant for my clients.
