ABOUT ME
Drawing on a passion for period properties, art and design, I love blending colours, styles and eras to craft genuinely unique spaces that feel fresh and harmonious.
My style of working is friendly and collaborative. I guide towards sustainable choices, creating spaces that are functional and long lasting, prioritising high-quality and ecological materials, layering in antique furnishings and avoiding waste where possible. Respecting your building's essence is integral to my approach; I offer guidance that fits your needs while celebrating its unique character and heritage.
Whether it is helping build a dream home, a holiday cottage that’s booked out year round or a welcoming space for customers, I work to achieve a lived in feel with elements of fun. Discovering the perfect balance for each project and client is the best part of my work.
I trained at KLC School of Design (HE Diploma Applied Interior Design) I am an associate member of the British Institute of Interior Design and a member of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB)
MY PROCESS
All projects; whether starting afresh on a whole house or refurbishing a single element, follow an established design process which ensures the best outcome. I am happy to guide you through all of the process, or part of the way.
Initial Consultation and Fee Proposal
All work starts with a complimentary 30 minute chat to learn more about you and your project. We’ll discuss which service suits you and then we’ll be able to send a fee proposal. For larger projects meetings will take place before fees are outlined.
Concept Design
Concept design defines the function and feel of an interior design project. Using the information from our initial interviews, questionnaires and my own research, I will enhance your ideas, experimenting with layouts, sketches and mood boards. This will help you to explore ideas for the look, feel and practicalities of your space, ensuring that the design is one you love and fits your needs.
Detailed Design
Detailed design takes the concept we have agreed on and develops it into something that can be implemented. This is through CAD drawings, sourcing furnishings, joinery, flooring and paint finishes, switches and sockets and all details down to the most minute. This ensures that everything has been thought of and the end design will entirely meet your goals. At the end of this stage you will be able to seek tenders from contractors, and have fixed costings for your project.
Procurement and Implementation
Your design will come to life as it is implemented by your contractor and other specialists. We oversee the implementation of the design, ensuring the contractor and project coordination teams have the information they need. At this stage we may also provide a procurement service to obtain furnishings and fixtures for your project.
Completion and Styling
This stage adds the finishing style touches, elevating the final finish by helping place soft furnishings, decorations, artwork and other accessories to ensure everything is looking the best it possibly can.
