01. ABOUT TILLY
Tilly is a motivated and energetic designer whose passion for creating spaces can be traced back to her pre-professional days, where she managed to incorporate design into her everyday life. Whether building tree houses and dens at a young age or being a member of the Social Space Design Team at school, she’s been on a design path from the start. The main reason: she understands how an environment can influence and affect the story taking place within it and creating these inspirational spaces exhilarates her. She believes in vintage, organic and handmade and strives to evoke positive emotions and sensory depth through connection to surroundings.
Outside the office, she’s committed to being creative; she’s always on the lookout of small ways to improve her current living space and there’s always some painting project taking over the dining table. She’s already got her book full of potential projects for the year including building a wood-fired pizza oven for friends and family in the garden. She loves to get her blood pumping and will probably “recruit” you into her climbing crew or for a wild swim.
She is now looking for a new and challenging position, one which will make the best use of her existing creative skills and experience and also further her personal and professional development.
