I'm an interior designer, creative mentor, and retreat host with over 30 years’ experience designing distinctive, character-filled homes across Europe and North America. 

 

My work spans everything from beach houses in Los Angeles and Spanish hideaways to 1930s show-stoppers in Leeds and luxury, design-led apartments in London. Whether renovating, restoring, or re-imagining a space from the ground up and my approach is always the same: interiors should feel personal, layered, and full of life.

​

This creative path hasn’t been linear — and I believe that’s my strength. After beginning my career through a graduate scheme with a major national retailer, I stepped away from prescriptive design to spend a decade in showbusiness, working across film, theatre, Broadway, the West End, and the Edinburgh Fringe and along the way even managed a gloriously chaotic Cuban singer, leading to a two-night Fringe run, two national tours, and a record deal.

​

That mix of structure and spontaneity now defines my interiors work — spaces that balance elegance with individuality, polish with personality.

​

Study at UCLA led me to return to interiors with renewed focus, designing, staging, and developing homes ranging from private residences to luxury serviced apartments. Alongside my client work, I've has always had my own renovation projects on the go, from sensitive restorations to full demolition and rebuilds.

​

Today this experience comes together through interior design masterclasses and immersive creative retreats, hosted in inspiring locations. These retreats combine structured workshops with travel, culture, food, and downtime — offering guests not just design knowledge, but space to reconnect with their creativity in beautiful surroundings.

​

Whether working with clients, aspiring designers, interiors enthusiasts, or curious creatives,

my aim is simple: to help people discover their own style, gain confidence in their decisions, and create homes that truly reflect who they are.

​

As Coco Chanel said, “An interior is the natural projection of the soul.”

I couldn’t agree more.
