What made you decide to become an interior designer?

I became an interior designer because I LOVE colour and looking at (and re designing) plans. I’ve always been fascinated by how a space can completely change how you feel; calm, inspired, overwhelmed or a little bored (when there’s far too much beige). Being part of helping someone create their home, making it beautiful and to suit their personal taste and lifestyle is both a creative challenge and an absolute privilege. Design isn’t just about making things pretty, it’s a way of creating comfort, joy, and a sense of belonging. Now I get to shape spaces that feel personal and great to live in and that’s what continues to excite me every day.

What is your own personal favourite style?

Mid‑century modern is my favourite style. Clean lines, warm woods funky use of colour, and that effortless let’s‑not‑overcomplicate‑this’ attitude: what’s not to love?

It honestly makes my heart sing

What do you enjoy doing when you are not at work?

When I’m not designing spaces, I’m usually planning holidays and sometimes even actually going on them, but often just happily living in the spreadsheet phase. I love travelling whenever I get the chance, baking things that make the kitchen smell amazing, checking out kustom car shows, and dining with friends. And yes, inevitably, I end up planning even more holidays. It’s a cycle, and honestly, its fine, I’m fine with that.

Do you have any interior design tips that may help people start from scratch?

This Is The FUN Part, and we’re here to help you.
If you’re starting from scratch, my biggest tip is: Don’t panic! This Is The FUN Part, and we’re here to help you. Begin with how You Live and want the space to work and feel for You, not what you think ‘should’ do based on your friends/ colleagues/ fave influencers lifestyle and choices. Select colours and finishes you genuinely love; you will be living with them. (However, if you’re building an investment then the opposite is true, appeal to the broadest range of people, take your designers advice). A great designer should take what you love (even if it’s not their taste or the latest pintrest trend) and make it look as good as it possibly can.
