Looking forward to working with Design Nation to deliver some seminars this summer.

There will be sessions for start ups / early stage businesses to help set strategy in order to get going with the best chance of success.

Also a masterclass for more established designer-makers who need to review past experience, assess where they are and make choices for their future practice.  

Welcome to the new website created to celebrate 10 years in business, October 2000-October 2010.

Thank you to everyone for the last 10 years and look forward to the next 10 years!

If you are an interior designer PLEASE buy this book.  For those of you have have heard me nagging and pleading for professionalism Diana and Stephen Yakeley have written the ultimate guide through an interior design commission.  It tells you what to look out for and provides examples of documentation you can use to manage the design process.  Worth every penny!
