I grew up on a farm in the Western Cape and have always enjoyed being creative! For most of my career I have applied that creativity by designing experiments while doing genetic research. I loved it!! However, three years ago, we took a leap of faith and moved to the lovely Eastern Cape. I am a mom of 3 beautiful children and I love living out my dream of recreating spaces! I am absolutely inspired by nature, natural and raw products and I strongly believe in supporting our very talented local artists, artisans, and producers where we can!
I love that our homes do not feel and appear the same, but rather that it is a reflection of our personalities and lifestyle. It is not simply about creating something beautiful, but it is important that it is functional, and that the atmosphere resonates with our hearts. My design preference is antique modern; however, I am so often inspired by alternate contemporary ideas.
Coming from an academic background, naturally I have taken up studying through The Institute of Interior Design to hone my skills in designing. I am a firm believer in taking the first step in faith.
