“The earliest evidence of recognisable human art is 40,000 years old. The earliest evidence of human
agriculture, by contrast, is 10,000 years old. Which means that somewhere in our collective evolutionary
story, we decided that it was way more important to make attractive superfluous items than it was to
learn how to regularly feed ourselves.”
I am a London-based interior designer with over sixteen years of experience creating homes that embody elegance, timelessness, and comfort. My passion for beauty and design began early in life. Growing up in Russia, I was surrounded by the richness of art and the grandeur of architecture, which continue to inspire my work today.
During my university studies, I wrote my Master’s Honours thesis in French linguistics based on the works of Flaubert and Mauriac. I received my design training from the KLC School of Design in London, and my creativity is shaped by a broad cultural perspective gained from my passion for travel and years living in California, Dubai, and the Caribbean.
In 2008, after my daughter was born, I opened my interior design practice in Surrey. Since then, I have had the privilege of working on a diverse range of projects, from stylish London apartments and a characterful 16th-century Grade II-listed cottage to an imposing manor house and an award-winning spa. Today, I am grateful to be recognised for thoughtful, personalised residential interior design across London, Surrey, and the Home Counties.
My approach is comprehensive, encompassing interior design, interior architecture, planning strategy, and complete project management to ensure every detail is thoughtfully considered.

A thoughtfully designed home is a true reflection of your personality and the way you live, shaped by your own story rather than by a designer’s imprint.
I see my role as creating spaces that respond to your family’s needs and effortlessly embrace your lifestyle. I work with features and possessions you already love, and uncover new treasures to breathe life into your home. If required, I offer art sourcing, antique and collectable furniture, and bespoke custom pieces to give your space individuality.
Throughout the process, I remain mindful of long-term value, ensuring every design decision enhances daily living and supports your property’s lasting worth.
My goal is simple: to make the process feel easy, the results feel seamless, and the finished home feel entirely yours.
No matter the scale of your project—be it a small London bathroom, kitchen, or bedroom, refurbishing a terraced house, or designing a new mansion – my approach is always thoughtful and unwavering. Every step is shaped by your vision, with the aim of creating a space that feels truly yours.
Our journey starts with close collaboration, guiding you through a clear and creative design process. Together, we explore new layouts and 3D visuals, so you can see your future space take shape and feel confident in every decision. Once your vision is fully realised on paper, we move forward with trusted partners, ensuring every detail is understood and nothing is left to chance.
I take pride in translating your ideas into reality, bridging the gap between your aspirations and the technical world of architects and builders. You can trust that every detail is carefully considered, so you can enjoy the process without worry. My aim is to anticipate and resolve challenges before they arise, allowing you to focus on the excitement of seeing your home come to life.
Every project begins with a thoughtful conversation. Your initial consultation is complimentary, giving us the chance to connect, explore your vision, and see if my approach feels right for you. I believe in building genuine relationships, taking time to understand your style and aspirations from the very start
