Have you ever dreamed of having a home that not only looks beautiful but also supports and influences the ultimate lifestyle you want to lead? Our homes reflect the lifestyle we lead and if our lives are chaotic this is usually reflected in the environment we live in. Interior design is not just something that looks goods, it has got to be practical and assist you in your every day life activities.
I will personally spend time understanding what you want to gain from your home environment and life, whether you are supporting a business, supporting your family environment, improving the quality of your health or a kitchen that will help you maintain your diet. Your home can be the perfect place that will not only look amazing, but also can enhance and shape the lifestyle you dream of.

After gaining work experience at one of the leading interior design consultancies Din Associates in London she moved to Leicestershire to work for a retail design consultancy, Knox Limited.

Susanna then moved to Shropshire in 2000 to work for iDEA, a successful design company, where she spent 8 years. Susanna was employed as an Interior Designer and was then later made an Associate of the company. Whilst working for iDEA she built up a greater understanding of the importance of sustainable design and how design reflects the way we work, which was implemented in many of their commercial projects. During her time at iDEA, Susanna worked for many prestigious clients, including Royal Sun Alliance, The Bank of New York, BBC, Sky and Prudential.
