Interior Architect | Project Manager | Consultant | MSc in Interior Design  

​

I am an interior architect, project manager and consultant with over 25 years of experience in the luxury design industry.

Holding a master’s degree in interior design I have successfully
led my own practice, delivering turnkey interior architecture and end-to-end project management across complex, high-value projects.
My experience spans residential, commercial, industrial, banking, retail, and educational environments. I work at the intersection of architecture, construction and interior design, fostering close collaboration between architects, builders, consultants, and specialists. This integrated approach ensures clarity of vision, design integrity, and rigorous execution at every stage of a project.

Beyond aesthetics and functionality, my work is grounded in the understanding that the built environment has a profound impact on human health, wellbeing, and behaviour. Thoughtful collaboration and design coordination not only enhance project outcomes but also support mental and physical wellness, sustainability, budget discipline, and long-term performance.

A client-centered philosophy is central to my practice. I take time to understand each client’s aspirations, values and way of living or working, translating these insights into spaces that feel deeply personal, purposeful and enduring. Every project is a considered response to the client’s brief, expressed through detail, materiality, light, spatial flow, and atmosphere. I am deeply committed to the responsibility architects and designers hold in shaping environments that influence cognitive, emotional, and social experiences. Design decisions affect how people think, feel, interact and recover. For this reason, I advocate for spaces that actively support wellbeing, happiness and human connection.

My approach is informed by research-driven design principles drawing on neuroscience to understand how factors such as light, colour, acoustics, proportion, texture and spatial sequencing impact the nervous system and overall wellbeing. I believe that truly successful environments are those that are not only functional and beautiful, but also restorative, intuitive, and supportive of human potential.

My work represents a synthesis of scientific understanding and creative vision, focused on designing environments that enhance health, wellbeing and quality of life, for individuals, organizations, and communities alike.
