Get Neat - What's it all about..........
Welcome to my website—a big old mind dump and glimpse into how I think, feel, and create spaces. It’s a space where my journeys, ideas, thoughts, thinking and experiences come together to shape thoughtful responses to interior problems. Each tells part of my story—how I explore what makes space work, feel right, and connect with. I hope that as you look around, you’ll see not just designs, but a genuine curiosity, concepts and care for creating places that leave a lasting impression with tailored solutions.

My Principles
At the heart of my work is the belief that design should serve both people and the planet. Sustainability isn’t a layer we add at the end; it is and should be the foundations every decision rests on. That might mean choosing a refurbished desk given a new lease of life, or selecting an innovative recycled material that feels just as refined as any traditional option.
Functionality play its role always, ensuring the space works as hard as it looks. Often this means combining uses in clever ways — a meeting table that transforms into a collaborative hub, or a breakout zone that doubles as a focus space.
The aesthetic then emerges naturally. Some layouts thrive with bold contrast and rich tones, while others shine when softened into desaturated palettes that create calm. Colour is always guided by your inspiration, so the scheme reflects your values and personality, not a designer’s imposition.

My Process
Because we experience space in three dimensions, I start there. By building the layout digitally, we can test proportions, flow, and sightlines long before the first material is ordered. This allows you to step inside the design virtually, seeing how it works and feels before it’s built.
From there, 2D drawings and boards bring clarity — an easy way to visualise the scheme in detail. Some clients prefer to explore the full 3D journey, others like the simplicity of clean plans and elevations — I can work at the level that feels most comfortable for you.

Materiality & Sustainability
Every material tells a story, and I believe those stories should be forward-looking and responsible. I aim to seek out recycled, refurbished, and circular-economy products wherever possible. Sometimes these choices proudly wear their sustainable origins — visible recycled textures, or reimagined pieces with character — while other times they look indistinguishable from conventional products, simply carrying a lighter footprint.
I've always tried to create space that stand the test of time, it doesn't mean things cant be changed later down the line but longevity has always been a factor, if you love it you want it to last right?

The Aesthetic
Contrast brings clarity. A white desk on a white wall disappears, but place it against a darker or textured backdrop and suddenly it has presence. This principle applies whether we’re creating drama with rich, dark tones, or quiet calm through muted, desaturated colours. Either way be unique and bold now is the time to play and explore how we really live and work as humans.
Each scheme is about atmosphere: do we want the space to energise and spark creativity, or soothe and ground its users? Often, the same layout can shift its personality depending on the palette and contrasts chosen.
Decision-making in my process is simple and transparent. Once the brief is formulated, functionality takes the lead — often with solutions that serve multiple purposes to reduce both cost and footprint. Aesthetics and mood follow, guided by your inspiration so the result feels personal as well as practical. And now with the mindset to create things as sustainably as possible, reduce the amount of carbon created, use non toxic or eco friendly product wherever and where ever possible.
Sometimes the emphasis is firmly on sustainability and function, other times there’s space for aesthetics and preferences to carry more weight. The balance is flexible, but the order ensures integrity in every outcome. When talking about design, I keep it straightforward, warm, and professional, I'm not about baffling you into intrigue with fancy terminology or blow smokes in chose directions, but will openly think outload to think and discuss or generate ideas. I aim to make sustainability easy to understand, so you feel motivated to make changes rather than weighed down by jargon. Some clients prefer a very practical conversation focused on outcomes, while others enjoy more of the storytelling — the why behind the choices. I adjust naturally, ensuring the process always feels clear and approachable and understood.
