Meet Lucia
20+ years of design experience
For more than 20 years, I’ve worked across furniture, interiors, product design and kitchens – combining creative thinking with technical knowledge and a practical understanding of how people actually live.
Today, I specialise in bespoke kitchen design, creating spaces that feel considered, work beautifully and stand the test of everyday life.
My approach is simple:
Listen. Understand. Challenge. Design. Refine. Deliver.
“A designer’s career is really a collection of problems solved.”
Over two decades, I’ve learned that the most rewarding projects are rarely the straightforward ones.
The awkward room. The difficult layout. The long wish list. The competing priorities.
These are the moments when experience matters – not simply to find a solution, but to find the right solution for the people who will live with it.
From idea to finished space
My career began in furniture and interior design and has evolved through bespoke furniture, commercial interiors, product development, sustainable design and kitchen design.
Along the way, I’ve worked across the full design process – from developing concepts and spatial layouts to producing detailed technical drawings, specifying materials and products, and working with the people responsible for bringing a design to life.
I hold Master’s degrees in Interior Design, Product Technology and Fine Arts, and I’m equally comfortable exploring a creative idea, resolving a technical detail or working through a practical problem on site.
That combination is important to how I work today. I don’t see the kitchen as a collection of units and appliances. I see it as a space that needs to work as a whole – beautifully, practically and for the particular people who live there.
The way I design
I bring together three things to every project:
Creativity
Finding the idea that makes a space feel personal rather than predictable.
Functionality
Understanding how the space needs to work in real life – from everyday routines to the smallest practical detail.
Precision
Turning creative ideas into practical, buildable solutions through careful planning, technical knowledge and close coordination.
I particularly enjoy complex spatial challenges – the awkward room, the difficult layout, the seemingly impossible wish list – because these are often where the most interesting design solutions begin.
Over 20 years, solving those problems means my clients avoid costly layout mistakes, stressful build delays, and impractical choices.
Design beyond the kitchen
My work has never been limited to one discipline.
Furniture, interiors, product design, visualisation and sustainable innovation have all shaped the way I think about space and everyday living.
These experiences continue to influence how I design: looking for solutions that are thoughtful, useful and made to last.
Local knowledge, personal service
Based in the Royal Tunbridge Wells area, I work with homeowners across Kent and East Sussex, particularly around Royal Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Crowborough, Hawkhurst and Hailsham.
Working locally allows me to offer a genuinely personal service – getting to know your home properly, visiting the space when needed and staying closely involved throughout the design process.
For me, good design isn’t simply about creating a beautiful room. It’s about understanding the house, the people who live in it and the way they want to live.
What matters to me
What if I told you your kitchen can make you feel more like yourself?
Not simply beautiful.
Not simply practical.
Not simply “your style”.
But unmistakably you.
Show me what moves you. Your comfort objects. Favourite meals. Colours, textures, light and atmosphere, and I will take it from there. I want to understand what resonates with you before I draw a single line.
Because I believe a kitchen should be designed around you.
A space where, every time you walk in, you feel completely yourself.
Uniquely yours. Cleverly resolved.
