Lou is a lover of all things colourful, textured and patterned. She loves mixing styles and periods and always prefers hand-crafted always over mass produced. Lou grew up in Wales surrounded by design as her father was a dealer in decorative arts, specialising in Art Deco and Art Nouveaux ceramics. She started her career as a freelance textile designer, card and gift wrap designer and alongside advised clients on furnishings in Peter Jones in Sloane Square. Lou moved to Somerset to raise her children and while there worked for both a property developer and a stained-glass conservation company. Another move brought her to beautiful West Sussex where she has been sourcing locations for film, TV, and photography. (This led to a new appreciation of Brutalist architecture which she never imagined!) In her spare time, Lou loves to be outside, whether cycling or walking her Greek rescue doggo, Rina, and hanging out with her beautiful family.
