Design with a difference
by Katy Grimshaw, Senior Designer.
It’s the little details, that can have the biggest impact
As a designer with over 15 years of experience I still get butterflies before meeting a new client and it’s just one of the reasons why I love my job. No two clients are the same, for some it might be their first-time moving office for others this won’t be their first fit out! Either way we take a super friendly approach to each first meeting whether it’s at the client’s office or ours, or around the corner at a coffee shop, that first meeting together is the start of a very exciting process. Meeting a new client and finding out about their needs and expectations as well as their hopes and dreams for their new office is a special time. This initial dialogue is often where some of the best ideas are formed because anything is possible. It’s a truly collaborative approach with our clients through a process that is beautifully simple and fun.
You+Me = Two
From this moment on, as your designer, I am with you every step of the way, to both guide and support you through the process. Along with other members of the team we will visit sites and develop space plans together and most excitingly see the space come to life through our visuals and storyboards. We will help you think about what elements are important to you, your brand, your values, people, communication and sustainability and get into the nitty gritty (and very important) detail of what type of coffee machine you should get. We will be there to answer questions and give honest advice.
‘It’s a truly collaborative approach with our clients through a process that is beautifully simple and fun.’
As a creative child, I grew up watching Changing Rooms and Lawrence Llwelyn Bowen transforming the lives of people and families through design. Today my job is to help people, teams and companies change their office landscape into one that best facilitates and inspires them to do the best job they can do and subsequently impact the lives of those around them. Every office that I have helped to create is personal to me, and I pride myself on the lasting relationships I have made over the years doing the job that I truly love. Let’s meet for a coffee soon and start talking about your ideas for your new space!
