My story...

Born and raised in London, I’ve always had a passion for the way beauty and function come together to transform a space. Driven by my love for art, people, creativity and aesthetics, I left a career in finance to train as an interior designer, allowing me to bring beauty, purpose, and personality into everyday spaces. Interior design and architectural color consulting became the perfect marriage of these interests—where artistic expression meets functionality. 

After qualifying in Architectural Interior Design (2002) at The Interior Design School, London, I gained practical experience in several industries including hotels, high end residential, staging, wellness and medical offices.  In 2013, life took an exciting turn - while raising our two daughters we packed up and emigrated to the Bay Area, where I helped to set up the interior design department at a local firm of architects.  After word-of-mouth referrals from friends, I was able to set up my own design studio in 2016.

I'm so inspired by nature in California, antiques, and "all things interior" whenever I travel. My home is now a curated haven where potted plants, global treasures and pops of color meet white walls and modern boho chic vibes. I can often be found tinkering with different art materials at the studio or walking our dog in the Berkeley Hills.
