🤍🍃It’s never too late to become who you’re meant to be🤍🍃 From as far back as I can remember, I’ve always had a passion for design. Whether it was re-arranging furniture in my childhood bedroom or sketching dream homes in my notebooks, design felt like a natural extension of who I was. Life took me on an incredible journey. I married my best friend, Chris and we were blessed with our two gorgeous children, Max and Tilly. When we moved to Dubai 10 years ago, my focus shifted to building a home. With no family or friends when our feet hit the ground in the UAE, I decided to poured my heart into creating a space filled with love, laughter and memories. Deep down, that spark for design never dimmed. As Max and Tilly grew older, I found myself thinking: What if? What if I pursued my passion, not just as a hobby but as my true calling? So, I made the leap. I went back to college to earn my interior design diploma – a decision that reignited my soul. Since then, I’ve launched Viridis by Design and it’s been an amazing journey so far. I’ve had the privilege of designing stunning homes in Layan Community and Damac Hills and I’m currently working on the office fit-out for FACT - Freight and Commodity Talent Ltd. Every day I feel grateful to do what I LOVE while showing Max and Tilly that it’s never too late to follow your dreams. With turning the big 4-0 next year, my hope is to inspire them, and others, to embrace the courage to become who they’re meant to be, no matter where they are in life. I do this for them!!! At Viridis by Design, I’m on a mission to create beautiful, sustainable spaces. Spaces that aren't just a copy paste of trends of the moment, but spaces that reflect YOUR story. Be it your home or your business, walking into something that screams you or your brand is what drives my passion for creativity and design. Interior Design should be like a fingerprint, no two spaces are the same. Your uniqueness is what separates YOU from the rest of the world and its what makes Interior Design endless. POV: If you’ve ever felt it’s “too late” to chase your dreams, let me tell you, it’s not. Start today Take that leap There are young eyes watching and I want to inspire and enlighten them by showing that there can be true passion in business. I’m determined to prove that it's never too late to pursue your dreams. And if your dream includes transforming your space into something extraordinary, let’s chat!🤍🍃 #dubai #nevertoolate #newbeginnings #interiordesign #designer
