2. WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST INFLUENCE/ROLE MODEL/INSPIRATION FOR YOUR WORK?
I am a huge fan of Kit Kemp’s work. Kit Kemp has always been an inspiration for me. Like me, Kit is not afraid to take a step into the unknown and follow her own intuition; against all the odds and the raised eyebrows. Kit Kemp breaks the rules which runs hand in hand with my personal philosophy that ‘there are no rules in Interior Design’. On paper, my designs should not work……clashing colours, contrasting genres, and intriguing combinations. Yet, the perfect balance of the opposing features, give an overwhelming harmony and a sense of tranquillity to the end result. Whilst at the same time, I ensure that my design schemes fiercely burst with personality and explode with colour. The juxtaposition of these senses, along with the unexpected, is the mantra of my designs. Kit Kemp’s work excited me the first time I saw it, and for me; that is the key to successful design – excitement. With excitement comes passion and inspiration. The rest is easy. Once you’ve found your inner excitement, you’ll find creating your personal design style becomes natural, just like picking out your clothes in a department store. Articulating this personal design style is the key to creating a room that reflects it.
