IN CONVERSATION WITH OUR FOUNDER
I had something of an epiphany when I realised that my work as an actor informs my career as a designer. The way I approach design is entirely through a lens of storytelling.
I want to equate the experience of going to the theatre with the experience of walking into a room, or a home. Why shouldn’t our most intimate and sacred spaces, our homes, fill us with a feeling of joy, awe, wonder and escape. I want to provide people with a place, and a way to transform the everyday into the extraordinary.
