    Former Customer

  • "Working with Emily on our home extension was an exceptional experience. She has a remarkable ability to truly understand a site and bring out its best qualities — something we didn’t fully appreciate was possible until we saw her vision come to life. Emily thoughtfully designed the space to capture natural light beautifully, and the flow between spaces feels effortless and intuitive. What stood out most was how genuinely invested she was in creating something special for us. This wasn’t just a project to her — she cared deeply about the outcome and it shows in every detail. The result is a space that feels both functional and truly beautiful to live in. We couldn’t be happier and would absolutely recommend Emily to anyone looking for a designer who combines creativity, skill, and genuine care."

  • Emily took the time to understand exactly what I required and she translated my ideas into accurate high-quality plans. She was responsive to feedback, made adjustments quickly without compromising on quality. She was at all times professional, reliable and skilful. I would be delighted to work with her again and would confidently recommend her to anybody needing drafting services
