"HELLO!"
I’m Zoe Marshall-McKay…
I have always had a passion for design and the arts, having studied Art and Design, Communication, Technology at school, followed by a short period doing an interior design correspondence course and then a photography module at college. I worked at a home furnishing shop in Worcester and learnt how to dress the shop, and source practical and beautiful furniture for our clients.
Following this, whilst raising my family, I worked in the NHS in various departments as a Senior Medical Secretary, and Personal Assistant to the consultants.
However, when I met my husband in 2008 who had a background in home renovation, he rekindled my joy for home design. From 2012 we ran a kitchen showroom together and I completed my NVQ3 in Furniture and Interior Design in 2013.
Whilst designing kitchens and kitchen extensions, I found that clients needed not only the cabinetry but also help with choosing flooring, tiles, splashbacks, lighting, stools, benches, media stations, window dressings and paint.
We started to approach the designs from a ‘whole room perspective’. After that, our clients would ask us to do the bedroom or bathroom that needed updating, then the study, hallway, cloakroom etc etc…
Since 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic, I started working from my home office in Ombersley, Worcestershire, focussing more on interior design and helping people navigate their way through their renovation projects.
I’m a proud member of the British Institute of Interior Design and was awarded Build Magazine 2022 : Best Luxury Sustainable Kitchen Designer (West Midlands).
In my spare time, I like a nice walk along a river or country lanes, a lovely meal and a good chat with friends or family.
I really enjoy being able to help people visualise and put together a home, as a reflection of their personalities. As our living spaces directly affect our well-being, I love having such a positive impact on someone’s life for, what could be, the next 20 years.
Please feel free to drop me a line and let me know how I can help you.
