Jo worked with us on an extensive refurb project at our house in Whitstable. We had numerous build defect issues to address as a result of problems with the original build so it was a particularly stressful time and it was important to us that when we came back to the house it felt like ours and not the original owners'.
Jo was very empathetic to our situation and took lots of time to really get to know us and our tastes, preferences and quirks (including how we based numerous decisions around our labrador :)). Her moodboarding/discovery phase was really key for us in understanding the direction we wanted to take the house. She was on-hand throughout the project and went above and beyond in helping us work through all sorts of design decisions...deftly helping us find a middle ground when we couldn't quite agree and always leading us to a decision we were both really happy with (thank you, Jo!)
We couldn't have completed this project without the introductions made by Jo to her extensive supplier network - including local tile, stone, flooring, curtain and soft furnishings design and supply businesses - all excellent quality. Crucially, when we lost our builder shortly before internal works were due to commence, Jo came to the rescue yet again with an excellent referral who took the project on and has been outstanding.
We're hugely grateful to Jo for all of her support, guidance and patience - our house is finally our home and we couldn't have done it without her!Read More

We’d highly recommend Jo. She really helped us work out our personal style and came up with room layouts that made our living space feel much more useable and cohesive. She was professional, approachable and easy to work with throughout. We’d definitely use her skills again.Read More

From the very first contact with Jo, I felt at ease with my project. I have used and worked with designers both in the UK and in Europe and have often found them to be quite one dimensional, by that I mean they have a formula and then seek to fit you/your project within that. From our very first video call Jo was willing to explore new ways of working, collaborating with my existing supplier network (as well as introducing some of her own) and has made the whole process EASY.
Jo, has a framework within which she operates but seeks to amend it to suit your needs, she challenged our thinking and really made us focus on what we wanted out of the project. Jo's common sense approach to problem solving has ensured that the project sets off with clear direction, a set of fully documented plans (with commentary) and an agreed timeframe and budget.
I would definetly use Jo and her team again.Read More

Jo is a super interior designer. Her initial space
Planning and master design approach was invaluable when we were setting out, thereafter she brought great attention to detail, programme management and logistics as well as great input to the overall design process so I’d highly recommend her.Read More

It's been such a joy working Jo. From the initial discussions about overall style, to creating and talking through mood boards, and then detailed design, it's been a relief to know that we're getting such expert guidance - but that it's still our design. Jo is great at listening to what we want and finding a way to incorporate that into the design in a way that is so much better than we could have achieved by ourselves.
By creating detailed packs for our contractors, there's also far less chance of things going wrong or getting missed on site - one of the key challenges in any project!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jo, and to employ her services again.Read More
If you’d like to explore how we could work together, we'd be delighted to hear from you.
