I lived in London for 12 years, where I studied and worked in advertising & media. My strengths lie in art direction and media planning. In short, what does something need to look like and where is it placed. 

This skill has always translated well into decorating spaces. Besides having worked in multiple art departments on films & photoshoots, I also decorate apartments for the rental industry. My mother was a decorator so I guess it runs in the family.

I love creating spaces. It’s a true passion of mine, I have always naturally been drawn to this. This is why I wanted to get a tipi (or teepee) for many years. I finally achieved this goal in 2014 and while I was at it, I added a gipsy caravan.

I also love taking photographs, I have done so since I inherited my dad’s SLR camera at 15, long before digital photography. My Instagram profile mostly consists of iphone photography, my subjects mostly architecture and interior design.

 

Natural Stone House

Never try to compete with natural stone walls. Make sure you to add colours and details which bring them out, rather than outshine them.

Tipi

A personal project of mine, which lets me create a setting that lets you step into a different world. On summer nights, the tipi & garden enchants with the magic of solar lights while in winter, a fire inside the tipi creates the perfect cosy escape.

Gipsy Caravan

This is my personal heaven: soft furnishings, carved wood, tinted window details. This totally enchanting space encapsulates the perfect Sunday.
