When it comes to decorating, what is your favourite style?
To be honest I don’t have a favourite style. I appreciate each style for what it is; what it represents and the feeling I get from it, regardless of whether it’s modern, contemporary or traditional French – each style is dependent on its own setting and therefore fabulous in its own right.

Who is your favourite decorating guru? Tell us why.
Kamini Ezralow, MD of Intarya Lifestyle U.K. Kamini and her team have a broad understanding of cultural influences that shape living today. They drive design trends and are never driven by them. I also hold various top South African designers in high esteem.

When it comes to service, what do you believe are your personal strengths?
Most importantly, I have always believed that great service is the lifeblood of any business and totally non-negotiable. I pride myself in meticulous attention to detail; tapping into my clients emotional values, making them feel visible and tangible throughout the design process.
