What’s your interior design process?
Intra approach sustainability in a holistic way we firmly believe that sustainable design does not result in design compromises.
We undertake projects of all sizes, from single room schemes to whole house eco-renovations, delivering healthy interiors with sustainability as standard. We have a research based approach, creating beautiful, bespoke interiors to your brief.
Good interior design starts with you, environmentally and socially responsible design starts with Intra, because what matters most is inside.
Which interior design styles can you cater for?
Intra do not have a specific style, the design is generated in response to your needs, taste and the space. Personally I love sourcing retro pieces and have an eclectic taste, perhaps quite minimal at times, I hate clutter! Intra aims to provide exemplary sustainable spaces with no design compromise, the bespoke interiors will improve quality of life, increase productivity and, due to the use of eco friendly products, will create a healthier indoor environment, free from toxins. I hold myself to the same high standards as I do in my design and client projects, sourcing responsibly in all aspects of my business.
What do you love most about your job?
Every project is different, with its own challenges, by responding to you I avoid repetition which keeps each project interesting. I love sourcing retro and vintage pieces which aligns well with my sustainable values and I really enjoy designing bespoke cabinetry.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Having previously had a 20 year career in commercial photography I realised that I gained more satisfaction from renovating my houses than I got from my job. This inspired me to retrain and I gained a BA Hons at KLC School of Design where I focussed on sustainable design I feel there is a lack of sustainable practices in interior design and inspired by my own interest in sustainability my intention is to make good practice in interior design easier and to cut through the greenwashing that we so often experience. Through intrainteriors.com I have also set up a sustainable sourcing directory as a resource for consumers and other designers. I firmly believe that all interior designers now have a responsibility to consider the sustainability of all their projects and my intention is to promote this and make specifying in a socially and environmentally responsible way easier.
Why should our clients choose you?
I personally believe that every interior designer has a responsibility to guide and educate their client in sustainability, a redesign offers valuable opportunities to upgrade things like insulation but most interior designers consider only the aesthetic. By taking a holistic approach a home or workplace can function more effectively and become healthier with a negligible effect on the budget.

Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.

sustainability consultation
You may already have ideas for your space, but where to start making it sustainable? The research I have conducted into this area gives me a specialist knowledge and saves you weeks of comparisons and trade-offs that could end as ‘green washing’. My knowledge and experience will leave you confident that ethical decisions have been made.
vegan interior design
A natural progression from sustainability, building on the obvious approaches such as avoiding leather or fur. I research all products to ensure that even adhesives are free from animal products. You may not be vegan, but my knowledge allows ethical decision making, for animals and humans alike.
