I design spaces that work for the way people actually live and work. I don't start with an idea or a moodboard — I start by asking what needs solving here.
A design project isn't a set of pretty pictures. It's a document pack your builder can work from without guesswork or rework.
I start with what's actually there: load-bearing walls, services, windows, ceiling heights. Plenty of ideas fall away at this stage — which is far cheaper than dropping them on site.
I usually show several layout options. We compare them not on looks, but on how you'll move through the place every morning.
Materials, lighting, fitted furniture, finishes. By this point we know what we're solving, so the concept doesn't fight the layout.
So you see the result before you've paid for it. Signing off on an image is easier than signing off on a description.
Plans, elevations, details, material schedules. This is the part builders tend to thank me for — no phone calls to check what was meant.
Design supervision, approving substitutions, conversations with the contractor. That's my job, not yours.
Not every project needs the full pack — sometimes a layout review or a single consultation is enough.
How the design process worksDifferent projects, different scope — one approach.
From a single room to a complete house project.
Restaurants, offices, showrooms, exhibition stands.
Visuals and marketing material for off-plan sales.
Kitchens, wardrobes, children's rooms, made to measure.
I don't sell ready-made packages. First we work out what needs solving — then the scope and the cost become clear.
The final figure depends on the task, the number of rooms and how far the detailing goes. If you have one specific problem, you don't need a full project to solve it.
I work in Luton, Dunstable, Bedford, Hitchin, Harpenden, St Albans, Hemel Hempstead, Welwyn Garden City, Leighton Buzzard and Milton Keynes, visiting site in person. Elsewhere in the UK and abroad I work online — a format that has been working for years, not a compromise.
We've worked together for many years, and the experience has been consistently positive. Together we've delivered a great many projects — a good number of them genuinely remarkable… Read on Google
We'd planned to do the renovation ourselves and spent a whole month arguing about the interior — until we realised we needed a professional who could take both sides' wishes into account… Read on Google
Yes. That's often where people start — a kitchen, a bedroom, a living room. If you need the rest later, we pick up where we left off.
Not necessarily. Once building is underway, what's usually needed is targeted: layout, details, furniture drawings. A full project is often more than the situation calls for.
Yes. Plans, elevations, details and specifications are part of the project. They're enough for a builder or a joinery workshop to work without further questions.
Yes. Surveys, calls, approvals and document handover all work online. For sites within travelling distance I come in person.
Tell me about the space and what isn't working in it right now. Then I'll tell you whether you need a full project — or whether less will do.
