MY CAREER PATH
I studied Architecture & Urban Planning at the Technical University of Eindhoven, where I discovered my passion for how people truly live in and experience spaces. My career in the Netherlands took me from housing development projects to designing kitchens, bathrooms, and interiors, before launching my own business in Amsterdam. Now based in the Cotswolds, I bring this blend of architectural insight and interior styling to create timeless, functional homes. I work closely with private clients and collaborate with businesses on beautiful, bespoke interiors.
