Testimonials
“Oxford University's communications department is based in a 60s building with generic office furniture and harsh overhead lighting, yet we needed to present ourselves as a modern communications department capable of attracting and retaining top talent from London and elsewhere.
Olivia understood this challenge perfectly and designed a room to encourage creativity, lateral thinking, and collective brainstorming. She met with members of my team to understand what they needed from a meeting room, and the result is a space that is fully booked every day. I am delighted with the dynamic colours and softening of the room and was impressed that she created a space that works for both the departmental staff, as well as newspaper editors and policymakers for informal meetings when they visit Oxford.
The environment a team works in really does affect its results, and I cannot recommend Olivia more highly.”
James Colman, Director of Communications, University of Oxford
“We have used Olivia on a number of occasions over the past year. We had moved into our new home which has been extensively remodelled and we ended up with four areas that we just didn’t know how to complete (the stairs and landing, the dining area, the hall and finishing the kitchen). Olivia visited our home and produced some creative and practical solutions and choices at the same time as explaining her thinking for her recommendations. She carefully listened to what we wanted and took on board what we wanted to achieve. Additionally, she sourced the recommended materials for all her suggestions thus making it very easy for us to purchase items. We are delighted with Olivia’s assistance and support, especially as I can take some time to come to a decision (she is also infinitely patient!). We would not hesitate to use her again and we would wholeheartedly recommend her.”

“My husband and I worked with Olivia on the interior designs for our new house, and we couldn't be more delighted with both the process and the results. She is a consummate professional in her field, and delivered exactly what she promised. We were blown away by her designs, which revealed both creative flair and incredible insight into us, our personalities and our dreams for our home. A friend commented that our open plan kitchen/dining area looked as though it was from a magazine! She worked with the budget we gave her and she gave us an invaluable 'supplier list': a fully-costed planner relating to the designs for each room. ”

“We moved into a Victorian terrace that needed a lot more work than we’d anticipated. This left us feeling overwhelmed – until we spoke to Olivia. She listened carefully to understand the style we like and our limited budget, then came up with some really creative ideas. She designed a kitchen extension clad in corrugated steel, which not only kept our costs down but gave the room the unique and original combination of contemporary material against the old Victorian brickwork. It’s now a kitchen that feels fresh and young but also timeless. We can’t believe how our house has been transformed!”
