Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

About
An award-winning interior design studio based in St. Albans covering Hertfordshire and London. I specialise in renovating residential projects and providing Project Management As featured in The Times, British Vogue, Good Housekeeping, Red Magazine, Your Home magazine, 25 Beautiful Homes and the BBC website. Are you extending, or reconfiguring the layout of your home, knocking through walls, and installing a new kitchen or bathroom? Feel overwhelmed with the amount of work involved? I would love to help you by creating ease and allowing you to make key design decisions easily without stress. I start by working closely with you, getting to know and understanding your needs through my design process. I offer three services: Design & Build, Full Renovation - which includes in-person design meetings and presentations, scaled floor plans, 3D renders, and elevations, submit our trusted contractors for the project and work with them to coordinate the project. The service also includes sourcing and placing orders on your behalf, installation of furniture, providing a full turnkey service. Design Only - Ideal for the seasoned renovator who is renovating and wants the luxury of using a professional Interior Designer and their support throughout the project. This means you will have access to me whilst you are managing your build and placing orders yourself. Design Consultation - Looking for some quick fire updates to your home or need some suggestions or ideas instead of a full service? This is ideal for those half baked rooms, or perhaps you are selling your home and don't want to invest heavily but just need some professional guidance to make your home appeal to buyers. You'll receive ideas and design solutions on the spot. Ideas that can help you finish off your home beautifully. I pride myself on my client-centred approach and impeccable customer service, including Houzz Best Customer Service winner since 2019.

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.
Check the TrustMark registerNever pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
