It’s been a while since I’ve shared an update here, but that’s certainly not because we’ve been sitting idle! The past few years have brought some exciting changes to CMD, reshaping how we approach our work and reaffirming what we love most about what we do.
As an interior designer, I’ve always valued being hands-on in every stage of the creative process. It’s this direct involvement that fuels my passion, which is why I’ve chosen to keep our team intentionally small—it’s just myself and my talented offsider, Nick. This approach allows us to dive deeply into each project, ensuring every detail aligns with our ethos: working on interesting projects for interesting people.
At CMD, we’re not motivated by ego. For us, it’s not about chasing the spotlight or designing spaces that simply look good in a photograph. Instead, our focus is on creating spaces that feel incredible to be in. Spaces that are warm, inviting, and truly resonate with the people who live in them.
Right now, we’re busier than ever, working on a diverse range of projects. From designing two homes from top to toe—one in the early design phase and the other already under construction—to transforming individual rooms in homes that evolve over time, every project offers a unique challenge, big or small. And we love them all!
A recent compliment from my brother-in-law reminded me why I love what I do. During a visit to my home, he said it brought him a sense of joy. That simple statement stayed with me, as it beautifully captured the essence of what I strive to create in all my designs. My home isn’t about being shiny or perfect—it’s about feeling alive. It’s a space filled with character, warmth, and a touch of experimentation. From furniture and upholstery to lighting, my home is a reflection of the ideas I’ve tested and embraced, and it’s a deeply satisfying way to live.
This same philosophy carries through to the work we do at CMD. Every room, every detail, is thoughtfully designed to spark joy and create an emotional connection. It’s not just about aesthetics; it’s about crafting spaces that tell a story, evoke feeling, and make life that little bit richer.
We’re thrilled to keep pushing boundaries, experimenting with ideas, and sharing the results with our amazing clients. Stay tuned—there’s so much more to come!
