My passion for interior design really came to life when undertaking two extensions on our home. I was able to use my love for design and sketching, and 15+ years of experience in project management (delivering global projects for large companies) to overcome the challenges that come with extending and renovating a house, whilst being a mum of two and having a very demanding full time job in London.

We are delighted with the design proposals from Elisa Design. Audrey listened very carefully to our requirements and constraints and came up with imaginative solutions which really capture the spirit of who we are and what we were aiming to achieve. We look forward to the implementation of her designs. More...

Thanks a lot Donna for your kind review. I am so pleased that you liked it! And hopefully the final result will be even better…
What’s your interior design process?
We follow a standardised design-build process, which makes the renovation process more enjoyable for our clients. Our 15 Steps Project Management strategy and related fees are divided into 3 distinct phases:
1. PHASE ONE | Project initiation: Initial Design Consultation, definition of your tailored scope of work, and contract.
2. PHASE TWO | Research, Design, Presentation: Covers Trade Day and project site assessment, design development and presentation (including project estimates)
3. PHASE THREE | Project Management: Covering furniture sourcing and procurement, renovation, site progress checks, renovation wrap, furniture installation, turn key reveal for those selecting to use our styling services, deficiencies management and project conclusion.
Which interior design styles can you cater for?
My style is modern, luxurious and sleek.
I like to contrast materials such as wood, metals and stone resulting in a sleek, functional and elegant finish. I enjoy furniture with clean and crisp lines, paired with curves introduced through bespoke joinery, curved lighting or decorative items, softening the look and completing the calm and luxurious aesthetic.
My colour preferences are deep, harmonious and calming but I also like to add a pop of bright colour to add interest and create a focal point. I like using patterns to complement a room and the overall colour scheme, and tend to stay away from bold or really busy patterns. I love relaxed, bright and open spaces, which I usually style with large pieces of artwork, mirrors, chandeliers, or bespoke pieces.
What do you love most about your job?
Sense of achievement when DELIVERING SOMETHING AMAZING FOR MY CLIENTS and seeing their smile on their face on completion!
Social interaction
Thinking out of the box to design imaginative and tailored solutions for my clients
Ability to recycle furniture / items across my various contracts to limit wastage
Flexibility of working hours to work around my family life
What inspired you to start your own business?
My children - They were looking to get parents to come and speak to the children about their job and how they contributed to the community to inspire them... with my corporate job in the City, there was nothing I could share demonstrating the impact on the community.
So I decided to take the plunge, work hard to achieve my dream job, and help my community, and people around me (close or far away) to get their dream home and make them that little bit happier!
