Creativity, essential oils, colour theory and therapy, herbs…. all combined with her love of fabric and interiors

Lucy has a lifelong passion for nature and the environment and an ingrained childhood love of colour, which was later reinforced and inspired by time travelling the globe, particularly Central and South America and living and working in the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean, for a number of years.

With a very creative upbringing and family values of ‘make do and mend’ Lucy was naturally led on a path of the Arts, which resulted in a Masters in Sustainable Design from the Royal College of Art, London.
