    Interior Designer

    Great design can influence people’s mood for the better. My strong technical foundation learned from my Masters in Architecture and Urban Planning leads my intuitive eye for detail. I strive to create beautiful yet functional spaces that lead to extraordinary experiences. I have 20 years of experience in the field of architecture and design; delivering multi-sector projects in both local and international locations, with some of London’s leading businesses and the world’s best-known brands.

    Photography is my tool and passion to tell my stories of the things I love to explore: Nature, spaces and objects. To paraphrase photographer Ansel Adams, "The great design fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense".

    Interior Designer

    I am a Senior Interior Designer with a BA Honours degree in Architecture. Having over 15 years’ diverse experience working within the Interior Design and Architecture sector globally, has offered me a rich and multifaceted career.

    Design is an interpretation of oneself, balancing the fusion of form and function. Creating a unique and personalized environment is important for our emotional well-being. This notion is crucial in my strive to achieve designs that are always unique to each individual or group.

    In my free time, I have a great love for the outdoors and enjoy mountain biking and snowboarding. Michael Jordan is one of my heroes, so I also have a huge passion for basketball and the Chicago Bulls.

    Designer

    Fresh out of university I bring fresh ideas in sustainability and trends. My masters in humanities, taught that fashion is circular. My knowledge of past trends, and the social change that made them, leads to authentic designs that can respect the host building and never go out of style.

    I enjoy practicing furniture restoration, as David Gauntlett wrote in Making is Connecting that there is a connection to be regained through crafting by hand.
