Vicky mckendrick
Commercial Interior Designers
As someone who has never used a design service before, I was keen to decipher who could help me to re-energise my shop. I didn’t want a shop designer/fitter to upgrade me to look like every other independent newsagents/convenience store, I wanted something different but wasn’t sure what and didn’t have a fortune to spend.
I needed ideas and the experienced eye of a professional.
Helen was quick to respond to my Bark enquiry, and we booked a telephone meeting to establish my needs and whether she could help me. I’m very glad to say she did! She visited me on site, and I’m subsequently running with many of her ideas which she converted to a professional floor and work plan and my shop is about to be transformed, on budget.
Helen was the key starting point in the project and I thoroughly recommend you talk to her because she won’t waste your time or your money.

What’s your interior design process?
It's all about understanding your needs, expectations and aspirations; the look and feel of a project reflects that story. Collaborating with a designer should enable you to create something unique. Speaking in person or online is crucial in the initial stages, as is understanding the use, lighting, circulation and any restrictions on the current space. From here we can tailor the service to meet your needs.
Which interior design styles can you cater for?
Contemporary, architectural, biophilic, Scandi, Mid-century modern to name but a few. Predominantly I design to accentuate a buildings interior shell and create a concept that responds in an authentic way to the direction my client feels is right for them.
What do you love most about your job?
Meeting new people and understanding how I can support them to achieve the results they are after.... and of course working creatively with beautiful products.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I love working within the design industry; after 16 years employment it felt like time to also enjoy the freedom of working for myself.
Why should our clients choose you?
Good question - because I am interested in how you want to feel and live in your space, not just how it will look. Though funnily enough when an interior feels good, it looks good too.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes I can contact you via Zoom or by telephone. Whatever the project it is important to discuss the details in person.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Most work can be supplied digitally and the usual precautions can be taken should we need to meet on site.
