HELIOTROPE DESIGN LIMITED

Q: Who are the workshops aimed at?

A: my typical client

 

 ~ Busy people who need a hand bringing their designs to reality. My past clients at Heliotrope have been professional women or busy housewives and mums who have a renovation or building project looming large and need another pair of hands. 

 

 ~ I help to sift through her interiors ideas and bring these to life in her home. It’s a partnership and our relationship is based on a mutual understanding of her style. She can trust in my ability to translate that style on time and on budget. 

 

Q: what happens in a workshop?

A: learn design tools and apply them to your own home

 

 ~ Workshops recreate that partnership in small groups. Construction being a slightly male dominated environment building projects can seem a slightly one dimensional environment for clients and designers to live in for more than a few months.

 

~ A combination of 10 or 15 minute mini-lectures on specific aspects of design and hands-on practical exercises. In between these I make the tea while clients begin to get inspired and make design decisions with 1:1 help as and when necessary.
