Hello.
Hi, I'm Claire - 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, creativity, and aesthetics, I was inspired to pursue a career that would allow me to bring beauty, purpose, and personality into everyday spaces. Interior design became the perfect marriage of these interests—where artistic expression meets functionality.
My Story
In 2001 I left a career in finance to study interior design and was accepted at London's prestigious Interior Design School. After qualifying I gained invaluable work experience at a top London design firm, focusing on hospitality and high-end residential projects, a women-owned staging company and a small interior design practice. Then, in 2013, life took an exciting turn! While raising our two daughters, we packed up and emigrated to the Bay Area.
​
I immersed myself in the local scene, starting by helping set up the interior design department at a firm of local architects. Word-of-mouth referrals from friends soon brought in my own client projects. This natural progression led me to launch my own design studio in the East Bay in 2016. My mission is simple - to create thoughtful, personalized spaces that truly enhance the way people experience their homes.
​
I approach every project with collaboration at the heart of it—working closely with clients, local artisans, architects, and contractors to design rooms that are both inviting and meticulously detailed. People often say I have a knack for connecting with others, and I love taking their ideas and translating them into beautiful, functional interiors that are comfortable spaces in which to live, work and enjoy.
​
When I’m not busy with design, you can usually find me at the studio experimenting with different art media, walking our dog in the hills, or enjoying quality time at our Berkeley home with family and friends.
