Improve your indoor air quality with my comprehensive FREE guide!

Hi There!

"Create spaces that HEAL, not HARM..."

                                  We spend around 90% of our lives indoors, yet most homes and workplaces were never designed with health in mind. Poor lighting, low air quality, toxic materials, and even the wrong colours on the walls can trigger headaches, anxiety, asthma, poor sleep, and can worsen symptoms for those with chronic illnesses.

As a Building and Interior Designer with over 20 years in the construction industry, I can guide you in creating healthier, more inclusive environments. Using principles of Building Biology, Sustainable Design, and my own lived experience, you’ll gain the knowledge and tools to make your space feel calmer, safer, and more supportive.

Turn your home, workplace or community space into a health-promoting environment. You can learn yourself through MY COURSES, HEALTHY HOME BLOG and GUIDES or let me bring your project to life with my INTERIOR DESIGN SERVICES and INCLUSIVITY REPORTS.

It is time to move away from environments that compromise physical and mental health and into spaces that actively support wellbeing and inclusivity. You deserve a home or workplace designed to help you thrive...
