My Why

RUNS THROUGH ME LIKE A STICK OF ROCK.
IT ALWAYS HAS. IT ALWAYS WILL.

Interior Design Business Mentor

I believe in bringing people together who value creativity to share, learn and inspire. That’s why the work I love the most has collaboration at its heart.

From clients, to artists, to product makers I love to collaborate with people who wouldn’t necessarily come together, whose world’s may not collide in any other way, it is what fuels me and touches everything I do.

“Assemblage is art that is made by assembling disparate elements, often everyday objects, scavenged by the artist or bought specially” The Tate.

Discovering the word assemblage and it’s meaning recently was a true lightbulb moment. After much searching of my professional identity I could finally understand the collage of my life replicates itself in the eclectic style of interior work that I have been developing. A process where things that don’t necessarily fit together, in some weird and wonderful way do. And it’s where the magic really happens.

That’s why the concept of assemblage runs through ALL parts of my life.

THE SUM OF THE PARTS COMING TOGETHER ARE GREATER THAN THE INDIVIDUALS ON THEIR OWN.

Greater

That is the essence of any assemblage. The power of togetherness. And it’s why I am so passionate about bringing different world’s together. To connect. To collaborate. To inspire something new.

I’M HERE TO BUILD A BRIDGE BETWEEN INTERIOR DESIGNERS AND MAKERS. TOGETHER WE CAN HELP CLIENTS DISCOVER GREATER CREATIVE POWER.

When creatives, and makers come together we can push the boundaries of what’s possible. And when we bounce off each other the inspiration can come from anywhere. Conversations, visiting exhibitions, collaborations and learning together. Whatever shape or form, the thing that connects everything is the spark, we just have to find it.

This is why I have to really know my clients. They are my inspiration. They fascinate me. And it often happens from the moment we meet. I start to see them through their eyes, and take on their character. That sparks my assemblage of ideas, and from there we refine, we craft, we rifle through what makes them tick to find their style.

Because you see, I don’t have a look, or an aesthetic. I’m not defined by that. The work I create is defined by all the aspects of who you are.

Say Hello

Interior Design Mentor UK

“I AM ALWAYS ON THE LOOKOUT FOR SOMETHING THAT’S INTERESTING. I DON’T SEE THE POINT IN NOT BEING CURIOUS. IT’S INNATE. IT’S NOT A CHOICE.

IT’S JUST HOW I AM.”

As a child, I always knew I wanted to perform on stage. Dressing up, playing characters, I loved it. And I think it all comes from loving people. Observing them. Mimicking them. Their quirks. Their characters. Their extraordinariness. I soak it all in. It inspires me. It sparks my ideas and even now, the moment I collaborate with a client my mind goes into overdrive.

And whatever I’ve done since, as an actress (yes good stories to tell!), a mother, and a designer, I’ve always been creative. But with children it’s hard to run a career. So I went to college and studied. I loved it. I completed an Art Foundation course, which is where I found my love of art followed by a degree in Textile Design & then an HND in Fine Art.

I built a business as a textile designer but it wasn’t enough to last through a pandemic when my clients were in the hospitality sector. So I had to adapt. To find a way to put my creativity to the fore and create things that people desire. That’s what brought me here. As an Interior Stylist I grew my business fast, finding my way and searching for work and projects with a deeper meaning. For me it’s all about combining the juicy conversations that mean something with creativity and expression, to make us feel something. In a nutshell, it’s about creating things with heart, and soul, things that matter.

It’s been a lifetime in the making, thanks to my curiosity and my creativity, but I’m just getting started. I’ve moved fast, tried things, experimented. I’m prepared to try things I might not like if it means I can find something I love. I’ve never been one to do the expected, so I found ways to do the things that light me up and set my soul on fire.

I believe in living life to the full and now I’m here to create the transformations you love, while making this world more open, more inclusive and more collaborative.
