I don't work from a fixed template, my starting point is always you or your brand, and how you want people to feel when they walk through the door.
I believe in functional first, with a strong sense of identity and materials that hold up over time.

Not at all, decoration is just the final layer.
Before we think about finishes or furniture, we're looking at how the space actually works: the flow of movement, acoustics, lighting, zoning, and how the layout supports the way your users behave day to day.
Good design is invisible when it's done right.

An interior architect handles the structural and spatial side: walls, partitions, technical systems, compliance, permits; not just surfaces.
This expertise saves you time, money, and headaches down the line. An interior architect coordinates with contractors, engineers, and suppliers so you don't have to.

Yes, that's a big part of what an interior architect does: produce technical drawings, manage planning applications and oversee construction coordination.

It really depends on the scope, size, and complexity of the space. I work on fixed-fee per stage and I’m always transparent about what's included.

Not at all. I share mood boards, 3D renders, and material samples early in the process so you can visualise the space and give feedback before anything is built. You'll have a clear picture at each stage and I welcome input throughout.
