What values are important to you in your work?"I design with a deep respect for the architecture, setting and people at the heart of the home. My interiors are personal and quietly luxurious, layered in colour, character and meaning."In your opinion, what makes a design timeless?“For me, timeless design is about restraint, warmth and honesty. Using materials that age well, colour that feels grounded, and pieces with meaning. It’s about creating something that will grow with the house and the people who live in it. I always aim for a space to feel settled, considered and quietly confident.”Why do your clients come to you? What do they value about your work?“Clients often tell me they feel overwhelmed with decisions or unsure how to bring things together. They come to me because they want a home that feels personal, characterful, and easy to live in. I think they value that I really listen, that I bring clarity and direction, and that I don’t impose a look, I help them find their own. They also appreciate the detail I put into sourcing, the way I layer vintage with new, and that I care just as much about how a home feels as how it looks.”How do you stay inspired and keep evolving your ideas?“I stay inspired by being curious. About old houses, old things, and the way people live. I love walking, pottering around antiques shops, and noticing details in nature or buildings.”
