Hello and welcome!
I am Nicola, and I live and run my design workshop in Sydney’s inner west.
I have a deep love for all things design, with a particular soft spot for the character filled, the historic, the rustic and the bohemian.
My original training was in film and theatrical design, and after 15 years in the industry a chance encounter meant a shift into the world of interior design and styling. For me the two industries are complimentary, the focus for both being on the narrative of a project and how to use colour and shape for visual storytelling.
My life has been lived in both Australia and the UK, and I often draw inspiration from both in the search for finding what makes a space cozy and inviting, what makes a room feel warm and rich, and how to revitalise a historic space with the right balance of respect and freshness.
My approach to design is intuitive and often very hands on. It’s not uncommon to find me with paintbrush or tool in hand restoring a piece of furniture!
With a passion for ethical and sustainable design choices, I design from the heart and enjoy creating a lasting relationship with clients and offering assistance as their needs evolve.
I look forward to hearing from you - Nicola
