At school, I didn’t have a clue what I wanted to do with my life. I loved art, but was also good at trigonometry and dissecting frogs. In the end, I listened to my teachers and chose a ‘sensible career’ - medicine. To a 16 year old, being a doctor sounded pretty cool and important.
But by the third year at medical school I realised - ‘Big Mistake’. I’d rather be studying Dazed and Confused than Gray's Anatomy. I was desperate to be creative. I even painted the floor, walls and ceiling of my room vibrant purple, green and orange (much to the horror of my landlady). But I also wanted to finish my degree, and three years later I was a junior doctor working 100+ hours a week. It wasn’t me and I felt suffocated. I had to follow my dream. So I quit, and my creative journey began!
From fashion make-up artist to studying interior design, over the next 15 years I developed a multi-passionate creative career. I lived in Paris and London; worked on fashion shows for Alexander McQueen and John Galliano; for brands from Moschino to Kilgour; with PR agencies like Purple; with infamous fashion editor Isabella Blow and for the publications Italian Vogue, i-D, The Face, Sunday Times, Guardian and the Independent. All the time, expanding my experience and growing creatively.
In 2017 I was approached by several private clients in Paris to design their homes.
The studio was born and moved to London in 2018.
