It all started with a doll’s house. Made especially for me, filled with tiny replica pieces of our own furniture, with paintings and curtains made by my Mum I started tinkering with a home in miniature. Combined with constant rearranging of my tiny childhood bedroom I was always wanting to create places of cosiness and character. A degree in History of Art was followed by a decade of the dream job working as a stylist on Interiors Magazines with a particularly happy and productive time on Country Living.

Moving into private client interiors seemed like a natural progression. Each project I work on is defined by the unique characters of my lovely clients and how they want to live. My job is to design spaces that work hard for them, inspire, nourish, bring them joy and make the process of a renovation or build an enjoyable collaboration. Working with a unique source book of architects, makers, upholsterers, artists and craftspeople- weaving together judiciously sourced antiques and joyful combinations of paint colours and fabrics I am always seeking the delightful and intangible alchemy that makes a home.
