How would you describe your style?
"Non-prescriptive and very client-centred. My lighting design is an integral part of the architectural and interior design brief."

"I designed the lighting for a large family home. Part of the team from the beginning of the project, I could ensure that light was considered at the heart of the designs for both the house and the garden. I spent time getting to know the client, their taste and aspirations and led them through the technical aspects of the lighting. I ensured that the layouts and scene-setting reflected their needs at all times. On this particular project, the client and interior designer wanted to emphasise colour and pattern and together we made sure that these showed through in the end result - a beautiful home reflecting their personality and lifestyle."
