Gillian believes that the interior space is an opportunity for self-expression—whether it’s for a retail or residential project, understanding how much our environment affects our mood, productivity, and lifestyle is always front of mind. She loves to draw inspiration from decades past, old movies and her travels.
When she’s not at her studio, Gillian can be found with husband and their two young daughters – and motherhood she says, has made her a stronger designer and business owner.
