In the workshop I share how I work through these kinds of dilemmas and decision making every day when working on interior design projects, so that you can apply these techniques to your own interior design projects.

Ham & High journalist Zita Whalley got in touch to ask if I could contribute to a feature on Autumn Trends. I get asked about trends alot, but enjoy thinking about the subject from the perpective of intrinsic motivation rather than focussing on what is in fashion right now.
