My Story
Having grown up watching my mother - a talented tailoress - sewing for private clients, it was perhaps inevitable that I would inherit the sewing gene. Still it wasn’t until we bought our first home that it became clear this passion could grow into a true career move; a genuine cottage industry.
​
From a young age, I had a natural eye for colour, shape, texture and space. As a teenager, I was forever rearranging furniture while my parents were out, styling rooms with objects from around the house - an early glimpse of what would become my path into interior design.
​
With guidance of Merrick & Day, I taught myself the art of creating soft furnishings. Soon, family and friends began to request pieces, and by 2001 the business was officially born.
An A Level in Art & Design followed by a Diploma in Interior Design laid a strong foundation for what has since grown into a thriving business. Today, my work spans the South, collaborating with private clients, fellow designers, property developers and the hospitality sector. Each project is wonderfully varied but the goal remains the same: to create something truly special - spaces and pieces to be enjoyed and admired by all.
