I am a trained fashion designer with close to 20 years industry experience. Developing mood boards, colour palettes, trend research, sourcing print and fabrication and coordinating shoots and press events, has always been my thing.

Having left my London job behind in 2020, I live on the windswept Northern Irish coast with my husband and two young sons, slowly renovating our Victorian home.

Post pandemic, my design experience has informed my role as an interior stylist and content creator. I have written for magazines including Ireland’s Homes Interiors and Living and Ireland’s Kitchen Guide.

I create content for brands via my Instagram page @sixbythe_sea and have been featured by the likes of Farrow and Ball, Rockett St George, and Garden Trading.

In 2023, our home was featured in the final of RTE Home of the Year.

I am passionate about period properties and empowering others to embrace their own unique sense of style when creating their homes. A curated, eclectic ethos is at the very core of my approach to interior design. Whether you need help with an overwhelming period renovation or introducing character and style to a new build, I am here to help.

We should all be able to live in homes that inspire. I draw on my fashion experience to inject colour and texture into interiors with a sense of eclectic, bohemian style. Always blending old and new, vintage and contemporary, my aim is to create modern heritage influenced spaces. Spaces that can function as family homes, whilst championing individual style.

With a considered approach to interior styling, repurposing, and sourcing I can help simplify what can often be difficult and costly design decisions.

On my blog you will find makeover projects, advice on conscious, sustainable sourcing and ideas on how to make your home beautiful through clever, individual styling.
