INTERESTSAntiques and Interior design. A hugely important and integral aspect of my upbringing. Based on fabrics and collectables sourced during years of visits to antique markets, including in Paris, we produced a small, digitally printed range of wallpapers. We also reproduced and sold small, handmade goods based on originals using old fabrics, sourced during the visits to the markets, along with selling collectables to both trade and the public.
House renovation. I have renovated many houses over the years from small scale projects to amajorfive-yearprojectofrenovatingaGradeIIlistedpropertyinBath.Ihugelyenjoythetransformation and the processes involved within the project management. I organised trades, planning and building regs involvement, as well as undertaking a number of hands-on roles during the renovation to utimately achieve lovely, high-qualtiy, turn-key homes.
Running. I use this time to focus my energies and thoughts. I am a driven individual and running allows me to push myself independantly.
Reading. This is my quiet time. I enjoy books with a theme that make me think, question and immerse myself within the story.
