Tell us a little about your background in design:
University of Greenwich, First Class Honours in Business Studies. 14 years leading global Human Resource teams for a FTSE100 company whilst carving out my design business in the background. One big leap of faith and we now have a busy design studio and retail shop spanning 10 years working in the luxury residential market. We started in a showhouse set up before moving to dedicated retail space within our first two years. Having outgrown multiple locations during this time, we have a great setup with a design studio and separate retail offering across the road from each other. We thrive on timeless interiors with a classic and contemporary edge offering turnkey design solutions. We have dedicated furniture artisans in the UK to cater for our bespoke designs.
How would you describe your personal design style?
Classic and contemporary.
Where does your design inspiration come from?
Travel plays a large influence in our design led interiors. We are keen to incorporate our client’s personal journeys and blend them into timeless interiors.
In what direction do you feel that design is moving towards in a general sense?
Whilst we work within the luxury residential market creating homes that are perfectly tailored, we are seeing a change whereby interiors are being more pared back and simplified whilst still incorporating custom and bespoke finishes. We are also as a studio very aware of ensuring a sustainable balance to our designs and mindful of using more robust and sustainable products and finishes.
