On a personal level, I have an innate appreciation for a range of design periods and styles. For me, spaces truly work when balance is created through contrast. They should tell a story about the people who inhabit them.
As an interior designer, I am required to design ultimately for my clients. As a manager of designers, I am required to lead and support a team of talented professionals. Today, contemporary design should encompass several key issues, financial, social, and importantly environmental, all of which need to be addressed by client and designer together.
To me, good design realises the potential of any space. It involves considered choices teamed with a sense of bravery. As a designer, I have a strong understanding of how interiors come together, from the architecture of a space to the soft furnishings that fill it. Colour palette, material choice and finishes are all equally important – each element is essential to creating one cohesive look that is both functional and resolved.
