SOUL designs blog is about creative inspirations and new designs....




I am a designer from London but now living in Cape Town.  Before moving here, I worked in Zambia and Malawi for 4years as a textile designer and production manager for Tribal Textiles, Zambia (www.tribaltextiles.co.zm) and afterwards Katundu Textiles, Malawi (www.katundu.net), both fantastic and inspiring companies.  Now I still travel to these countries for interior design projects for upmarket safari and beach lodges, recently including Kaya Mawa Lodge, Malawi (www.kayamawa.com) and Norman Carr Safaris, Zambia (www.normancarrsafaris.com).  You can look at my website, www.souldesign.co.za for more info and inspiration...








My style is very 'hands on' and natural, working with local craftsmen on bespoke furniture/lighting/design aspects etc and working on one-off beautiful and unique textile ranges to use around the lodge.
I also design and make my own range of jewellery/accessories and interior ranges within the SOUL brand, all beautifully made in my studio in Cape Town - Im going to post images and info on my other ranges in upcoming blogs...
In the meantime, below are some images from my interiors projects
