The Studio Where Our Projects Begin

After more than 33 years of running my own interior design practice, I have arrived exactly where I always hoped to be: a small, bespoke studio in central London, devoted to private residential projects. Located in Marylebone, my studio is intentionally personal rather than corporate; a space for meaningful conversation, reflection, and the careful crafting of homes that are designed to endure. This studio is deliberately small. It is not a brand machine or a volume-driven operation. Instead, it exists to nurture relationships, attention, and time, assisting clients create homes that truly reflect their lives and personalities.

A Studio to Slow Down and Reflect

Set within a late Georgian house near Baker Street, the studio sits quietly in the heart of Marylebone, one of central London’s most elegant quarters. The rooms are generous, retaining their original features including the fireplace, and with high ceilings on arrival, it feels less like a commercial studio and more like stepping into a private drawing room.

While the space feels positively lounge like, it is in fact fully equipped. Technology is quietly integrated, ensuring the studio remains calm and considered while supporting a highly professional design process.

Engaging Clients in Person — and Across the World

I value welcoming clients to the studio whenever possible. Multiple large screens allow us to review layouts, designs, and budgets, while the extensive samples library supports collaborative, hands-on decision-making. These in-person meetings are central to the process; being physically present fosters clarity, creativity, and excitement for what a home can become.

For clients abroad, Teams meetings have become an essential extension of the studio. The technology enables seamless presentations while maintaining the same thoughtful, gradual approach, allowing ideas to grow and evolve naturally, no matter the distance.

Personal Involvement from Start to Finish

I remain personally involved in every project. Clients work with me directly from our first meeting through to completion, creating continuity and trust that is vital to each home’s success.

Many clients return years later to adapt or refine their homes as life evolves, a long-term engagement that I value deeply and one that reflects the confidence and understanding built over time.

Choosing Projects with Intention

At this stage in my career, I select projects that genuinely interest me. The project isn’t necessarily a large, impressive house, some are smaller in scale, but still are rich in detail, meaning, and care. What matters most is working with clients who appreciate design that goes beyond surface aesthetics — interiors with depth, longevity, and character.

An Invitation to Begin a Conversation

If you are considering a private residential interior design project and value a thoughtful, personal approach, I would be delighted to welcome you to the studio. A visit is simply the beginning of a conversation, one that, in time, may lead to a home that feels entirely and enduringly yours.
