Tell us a little about your background in design (education, experience, etc)
Originally from County Kildare, Ireland, where my passion for art and design was nurtured from a young age. I pursued my studies in Interior Architecture at the Dublin Institute of Technology. In 2007, I moved to London to further my career in interior design, honing my skills at esteemed studios. In 2013, I co-founded BradyWilliams with Emily Williams, focusing on luxury hospitality projects.
Recently, I launched Studio Shayne Brady, an evolution of my personal journey and creative approach over the past two decades. The studio reflects my belief in creating thought-driven interiors that delight and inspire, and I’m proud to lead a talented team of 20 multi-disciplinary designers and interior architects from our base in Bloomsbury.
How would you describe your personal design style?
My design style is theatrical and dramatic, characterized by a layered approach to materiality. I aim to create spaces that evoke emotion and offer an immersive experience, blending historical references with contemporary sensibilities.
Where does your design inspiration come from?
Inspiration comes from various sources: the nature, history, art, the stories of people, the vibrancy of travel. I also draw from the rich tapestry of global cultures and the stories they tell.
What are your aims and goals for the next twelve months?
Our goal is to expand our international portfolio, continue fostering creativity within our team, and push the boundaries of hospitality design to create memorable experiences.
