My Story

Design and creativity are the driving forces behind my career.

With a background in Art History, dressmaking and tailoring, and fashion retail, I developed a deep understanding of proportion, texture and colour, and meticulous attention to detail. A RHODEC Diploma in Interior Design, combined with ongoing study in lighting design, biophilic principles, and colour psychology - allows me to create interiors that are cohesive, balanced and enduring.

Professional Background

I began my career designing showhouse interiors for exclusive residential developments, quickly expanding into residential and commercial projects, including corporate headquarters, restaurants and private homes. These experiences honed my skills in spatial planning, specification, and project delivery.

My work has been featured in The White Book and Irish Interiors Magazine, and I took part in RTÉ’s Showhouse Challenge.

Interior Design for Your Next Chapter

Supporting my mother through relocating and downsizing, and helping my sister futureproof and renovate her period apartment ahead of retirement, gave me firsthand insight into the needs of homeowners planning life’s next chapter.

These experiences shape my work as a Dublin-based interior designer specialising in downsizing, futureproofing, and mid-life home upgrades.

A Strategic Design Approach

I help clients in their 50’s and beyond to plan their next chapter at home, creating interiors that are functional, adaptable, and designed to endure.

Through a structured, thoughtful process, I ensure every home is resolved, future-ready, and tailored to each lifestyle - balancing quality, durability, and intelligent design for lasting value.
