Shaping spaces, experiences and collections into worlds that feel right
Claire begins every project by creating a world. Like a garden, her work is shaped by structure, balance and care; allowing spaces, objects and peoples experiences to align naturally.

When a project feels slightly too up in the air — or when a company or individual can’t quite see how to land their vision into a credible, coherent experience — it can become frustrating, costly, and worrying. Sometimes, through circumstances or complexity, the original vision or dream gets lost along the way.
My role is to hold the red line: to bring strategic clarity and grounded support so people can align, make decisions, and move forward with a clear creative direction. Instead of feeling drained or stuck, the process becomes more enjoyable and purposeful. The project gains momentum, confidence, and focus — and the end result is stronger, more engaging, and more impactful than it could have been alone.
I bring decades of experience in creative direction and interior architecture, partnering with individuals, studios, and institutions to shape and translate visions into unique worlds and spaces that truly work.
”If you are looking for clarity, direction or a sounding board, this is a good place to start.”
“Across all my projects, one constant remains: coherence. I want to create worlds that feel whole, places and experiences that not only look right, but feel right.”
4 Worlds
My work is organized into four distinct worlds. Each one has a different scale and responds to a different context; from public events for thousands of people, to restaurants and bars for large groups of guests, to homes for families, down to furniture and objects; they are all held by the same way of thinking.
Public Scale
Projects at public scale, health, culture and technology where institutions and large organisations meet people through spaces and experiences.
Cultural & Social Ritual
Pubs, restaurants and boutique hotels and events, shaped by atmosphere, identity and how people gather.
Lived Homes
Homes shaped around real lives, that feel right.
Furniture & Collections
Furniture & object collections curated, edited and designed to complete spaces and define create worlds - for Design Labels and bespoke interiors.
