Meet Katie

Katie's two-decade dedication to interior design and architecture reflects her profound passion and commitment to a grounded approach in her practice. She consistently delivers projects with a distinctive mix of robust yet sensitive creative interpretation, ensuring an engaging client experience while upholding integrity at every stage.

With a background rich in diverse experiences, Katie's journey began in the media sector, where she worked as a voice-over artist and radio broadcaster at the BBC. This unique background, combined with her later venture into property and interior design, provides Katie with a multifaceted perspective that deeply enriches her design philosophy.

Katie's hands-on involvement in projects means she stays intimately connected with clients throughout the entire process. This approach underscores her dedication not only to crafting aesthetically pleasing spaces but also to nurturing meaningful and collaborative client-designer relationships.

Alongside her design practice, Katie shares her wealth of knowledge as a lecturer at the Interior Design School, contributing to the growth of aspiring designers. Her exceptional journey and commitment to excellence make her a standout figure in the world of interior design, ensuring that each project she undertakes is imbued with a rich tapestry of skill, creativity, and genuine care for the client's vision.

Her clients say: “She is unusually skilled at listening to and interpreting her clients requirements, and brings a clear and open steer to her projects.”

 
 

“Delivering a project is an intense experience for everyone and so I really want to engage constructively with clients to reveal a home that suits them individually with all the details creatively tuned to their needs.”

Our Studio

We’re a London based design practice offering interior architecture and design with a unique focus on elegant, timeless interiors with a twist, that are seamlessly detailed, highly functional and that inspire and tell a story.

We guide clients through all stages of the creative process and follow the RIBA Plan of Work including assessing the financial aspects of their project, deciding what they would like to achieve at all stages through to an exceptional quality resolution. Working on private spaces that are also substantial investments means we communicate frequently and are transparent in our working to reassure and to guide.

Our designs are layered, eclectic, personal and effortlessly stylish. Delivered with meticulous detailing and creative expression, the studio responds to people and context without a formulaic design response. We are inspired by the personality of our clients and their individual requirements. We incorporate artworks and furniture pieces they love whilst also considering key elements such as the architecture of the building and its surrounding elements, sustainability, natural light, and materials along with maximising storage and adding hidden surprises.

“Katie has been great to work with, she has brought her designers eye and attention to detail to all stages of our refurbishment project - from first ideas for redesigning the internal spaces to the final high quality finishes. She and her team have achieved a scheme which elegantly combines the modern and the traditional which is exactly what we were hoping.”
