What’s your interior design process?
Appraisal
An initial meeting to discover whether the client and myself would work well together – to establish rapport.
Brief
Opportunity for the client to inform me of the scope of the project, what the priorities are, how the space is to be used, scale, aesthetics, timing and budget. I will listen carefully to ideas and aspirations and any concerns the client may have.
Concept Development
I work in collaboration with clients to create the best use of the space to suit lifestyle, practical requirements and aesthetics. Creation of a design direction and style for the project. Presentation of full design concepts with sketches and materials boards.
Specification
Once the design concept is clear, measured plans and detailed drawings are produced. This includes furniture, fittings, surfaces, lighting, bespoke cabinetry, upholstery, soft furnishings.
Implementation
Depending on scale, the client can take specifications to their own contractor or I will manage the full installation, or a combination of the two. The aim is to manage the budget and working timetable to complete the project to everyone’s satisfaction.
Which interior design styles can you cater for?
My design philosophy is to draw out the personality and vision of my clients in an open and articulate way, creating living spaces entirely attuned to them and their properties, be they historic or modern buildings, domestic or commercial, one room or whole building.
What do you love most about your job?
I have been a designer my whole working life and running my own business for 5 years. I love solving problems, creating practical and beautiful solutions to enhance peole's lives. Helping clients to have living and working environments that bring joy and comfort is what I have trained for.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Working for oneself means you have complete control through out a project. This means being able to fullfill my client's vision in an open and articulate way that results in the best for everyone. Most of my clients are busy working professionals who need complete confidence that their project will be fullfilled on time and on budget but also an inspiring and fun process.
Why should our clients choose you?
We listen to our clients, so the designs we create for you are beautiful, considered, reflect your personality and, above all, achieve what you wanted. That so many of our more recent projects are from existing clients or from personal recommendations, we trust, speaks for itself.
After gaining a BA Hons in Interior Design from Kingston, I started my career in theatre, film and television design, before working with leading architect-led, interiors companies including Roundhouse Design. This shaped my architectural approach to design conceiving every aspect of the space encompassing scale, size, shape and character.
