Tell us a little about your background…
I studied fashion at college, and I’ve always been interested in design and interiors, especially when it comes to colour and pattern. I love using unusual colour combinations in both my wardrobe and room schemes.

What have you been up to since appearing on the BBC’s Interior Design Masters?
It’s been a whirlwind; the day after the final aired I handed my notice in after 18 years working in the NHS. I’ve been writing an interiors book, designing my first-ever homeware collection for Freemans, plus styling for private and commercial clients. Every day is so different and everything I do involves creativity, which makes me incredibly happy!

How did your collaboration with Freemans start?
After the series ended I received a phone call, and instantly knew it would be the perfect fit. Freemans is an amazing team to work with, and designing and developing the collections has been a dream come true. My summer range launches in April and includes a beautiful pink bar cart, fabulous lighting and the most OTT bedlinen, which I think will cause a bit of a stir!

Where do you get your inspiration?
Interiors magazines and social media are a huge source for me, as well as the places I visit on my travels – the riads of Marrakesh, street markets in Thailand, and my favourite place in the world, The Beverly Hills Hotel.
