The job I fell into, after re-training as an Interior Designer.... 2003
•
After two years training, I set up my first interiors business around 15 years ago, but I was asked to help out at a local bespoke kitchen company, where helping out soon turned into taking on the majority of their designs, as the owner wanted to step back. Little did I know back then, just how valuable that experience was going to be! I spent around 7 years as a freelance designer, through many ups and downs, change of ownership, tears of joy... (clients) and tears from upsets, pressure and frustration (business) all of which toughened me up and taught me so much, from knowledge of all things interior architecture, joinery and cabinets to working on site with architects, builders, and all the trades and crafts that complete the team. The wonderful part was coming away with many client friends who have come back to me for further work within their homes, and some that I have worked with on homes they have moved to....
