✨ My Story as an Interior Designer ✨

I’m always designing — or at least thinking about design. If someone wants to talk interiors, I could honestly go on for hours. 🖤



A few days ago, I was chatting with my husband about how design has been part of my life long before I ever called myself an interior designer. Even back in my twenties, I was renovating homes — taking out fireplaces, sanding floors, tiling bathrooms, and adding loft extensions. My mother-in-law once said she couldn’t believe how many photos I’d taken of every stage of renovation… but that’s always been me — I love the process as much as the final result.



When I meet building companies now, I often say I’m an interior designer who likes to be on site — because that’s where my experience really began. If I’m creating the concept, I want to make sure it’s executed correctly. Sometimes, that extra set of eyes during the build phase makes all the difference.



What I love most is transforming how a home feels — making spaces that work for real family living, bringing warmth and function to the architecture, and blending the old with the new.



I got into interior design simply because I love it — and it complements my life perfectly. Watching the new Victoria Beckham documentary recently on @netflixuk , I really related to her passion for fashion. The way she talked about her drive and vision… that’s exactly how I feel about interiors.



This isn’t just what I do — it’s who I am. ✨

As an interior designer I embrace a hands-on approach by actively participating on construction sites, where their journey in transforming spaces into functional art began.
