I came to interior design by a slightly different route, and my background as an occupational therapist still influences the way I work today.

Before retraining as an interior designer, I spent many years working as an occupational therapist. A big part of my role was understanding how people live their everyday lives and how their surroundings can affect what they are able to do, how they feel and how well a space works for them. It’s something I naturally bring into my interior design work. I’m interested in how a room will actually be used, as well as how it looks.

My own interest in interiors grew through renovating a neglected cottage, which gave me the opportunity to learn about the practical side of renovating a home as well as the creative side. I eventually decided to retrain and studied residential interior design at the KLC School of Design, graduating with distinction.

My style is influenced by the Kent countryside and traditional English interiors. I tend to work with soft, muted colours, natural materials, pattern and texture to create homes that feel warm, comfortable and personal. I like rooms with character and a sense of permanence, rather than spaces that feel overly styled or designed to a particular trend.

I work with a small number of clients at a time, mainly busy professionals and families across West Kent, including Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and the surrounding villages.

Whether you need help making decisions about one or two rooms through my Design Consultation, or you’re looking for more comprehensive support through my Interior Design Service, I’ll take the time to understand your home, your priorities and how you want the space to work for you.

If you’re considering a project, I’d love to hear from you!

You can book an Discovery Call to tell me a little about your plans and we can see if I’m the right fit for your project.
