Founder of One Fifty Five, Interior Designer and professional homebody.
Home is my favourite place in the world, and I want to inspire you to feel the same.
Through beautiful design and thoughtful living practices, we can improve our well-being and live better.
I’ve worked with homeowners who are updating unloved spaces, undertaking big renovations, or who are just finally ready to make that change. We work collaboratively because I’ve been through the process myself, and I wondered how much easier my journey would have been if I’d have had someone to guide me. To ask for their opinion in a way that wasn’t about their preferences but mine.
And someone to help me see what it could look like before I committed to yet another repainting.
It’s about helping you get the best out of your home so you can fully enjoy it.
Invite people round, enjoy a peaceful moment - however you want to live, you’re in the right place to make it happen.

The design and consultancy process
-
01
Together, we start the design process. We’ll understand what you truly need from your space, taking time to discuss ideas, inspiration and practicalities as well as starting to define key decisions.

02
I take the best of your ideas and pull them together in a cohesive design. You’ll be provided with all you need to make this design blueprint a reality - from full renders to shopping lists, you’ll know exactly what you need to do.

03
As part of the consultancy process, I’ll be around to help. We’ll have regular check ins to keep you accountable and You’ll have space to ask questions, test ideas, and get clarity when things feel uncertain, but with structure and support to make confident decisions and keep momentum.
Why Consultancy?
Whether you’re getting the trades in or DIYing, taking ownership of the implementation helps you connect with the design, understand what’s working and gives you a real sense of achievement, with new skills learned along the way
I bring over 10 years of teaching experience and project management skills to support you through the project, broken down into easy-to-manage steps, to create a home that feels unique to you.
Time is of the essence
Our monthly project review keeps you on track and on schedule. You’ll know exactly what’s coming next and how to approach it. Everything you need from project visuals to clickable shopping lists are provided, so you don’t have to waste any time getting started, and you’ll be supported through to completion.
La Dolce Vita
Coming from an Italian family, home was often at the heart of our lives. From family celebrations hosted with delicious food, lively music and animated conversations, to a quiet Sunday, just relaxing.
Home was also about the many rituals that we carried out day to day that gave us comfort and peace. For me now, it’s a coffee in the same spot every morning, or lighting candles in the evening - a fresh bunch of flowers.
Small things that make us feel good.
Browse the Weekend Reading collection, written to encourage those rituals, and take five minutes for yourself.
