Every couple of weeks I’ll be keeping you in the loop on

WHAT’S GOING ON + BEHIND THE SCENES + INSIDER INSPIRATION.

WHAT’S GOING ON

So it’s been a while!
Six months to be exact and so much has happened in that time…
I hope life is good with you wherever you may be?
Please do hit reply to this email if you’d like to say hello as I always love to hear from you..This week sees my “flop or fly” experiment to redesign my life and on-line business reach a big milestone, as I’ve been 8,000 miles from home for 365 days – WOW that went fast!!I am still here loving life and work here in Lombok and I’m amazed to say it’s been a year.
The last time I emailed in May I was at the point where I realised I needed to take time to recalibrate and focus on how best to move my business forward in these new surroundings.The last 6 months has been all about a lot of behind the scenes work with deep research, planning, development and testing of my BRAND NEW SERVICES which went live this week!DESIGN – CLARITY: Online interior design package for hospitality & private clients.
SIGNATURE – STYLING:  Custom fabrics + soft furnishings service for interior designersI also want to also let you know how the developments in my services will be reflected in my emails to you from now on, so you know what to expect in your in box…

This Design Diary email will continue to share all things “interior design” with you.

Combining a mix of: WHAT’S GOING ON + BEHIND THE SCENES + INSIDER INSPIRATION

Meanwhile my Studio Stuff email will focus on the “bespoke textiles” element of my work.
Bringing a fusion of: WHAT’S HAPPENING + LOMBOK LOVE + FABRIC FACTSI will be alternating the emails, so if you’d prefer one over the other just reply with your preference & I’ll adjust what you receive to suit your interests : )

Thanks for being here, I look forward to keeping in touch regularly now that I’m ready to take on projects again and explore more of the creative culture here in lovely Lombok.

I had a fabulous day on a photo shoot for the interior project I completed earlier this year and it was great to revisit the villa which is still looking fresh..
I found a fantastic indonesian photographer who has been in the business of shooting villas for over 15 years and we hope to collaborate more in the future on other projects.
The models were a mix of friends and makers I am working with here, who enjoyed being “superstars” for the day!

INSIDER INSPIRATION

I confess to having massive FOMO as so many of my industry friends were all meeting up at DECOREX, the huge interior design show in London last week – however given that social media provides almost instant action to everything that’s going on, I felt like I was almost there!
Here’s some inspiration from a fab new product launched at the show from the V&A wallpaper collection which features one of my absolute favourite colour combinations: greens and berry pinks.I’ll share some of the fabulous fabrics that caught my eye in my Studio Stuff email.

My “Design Diary” & “Studio Stuff” emails which will alternate.

This means I can share different areas of my creative world

in small chunks, as I know you’re busy people!

I’ll be back in a couple of weeks.

 Best wishes,
