“I check confessions of a design geek every lunchtime for inspiration and new talent.” Paul Tanner, Senior Buyer, Marks & Spencer
“…beautifully designed, consistent, thoughtful and a very distinct point of view.” Brad Ford, Brad Ford ID
“confessions of a design geek turns designers into real people. It allows designers to speak in the same words as the people who use what they’ve made. There is something very democratic about that.” William Shaw, London Design Festival

Thanks Andrea!
I just came across you blog today.. loving it! I think I’ve have found my new design indulgence. Thanks
Thanks Jae – glad to be of service!
i think all designers have an inner geek in them (along with OCD). great site. i just started a blog and you inspired me.
Thanks so much Trina. Good luck with your blog x
Really love the story of how this all started – so nice when something comes so naturally rather than it being forced. I was lucky enough to have a similar start

I’m a designer from India and have always had this yearning (a guilt more so) to be able to write on design that matters and brains behind them. Your blog is a great inspiration and source of learning for me and I hope learn even more from it as I go along. Many Thanks Katie and keep writing! Cheers.
Congratulations Katie!! Well-deserved award for ‘Best Interior Design Blog in GB’!

My Mum used to say the very same thing… “if you haven’t got anything nice to say, then don’t say it”
It’s good advice!
HI Katie,
I am really enjoying browsing around your design blog, love the “here’s one i made earlier” section as well as the “creative spaces” Studio and office visit. I would love to meet up, give you a tour of my studio and my sister’s adeline de Monseignat.
All the best,

How come I have never seen this amazing site before. I discovered it via a Morag Myerscough link, whose work I love. You know when you find a new website and its all shiny and new and there is so much that you want to look at and read that your head starts to spin? Well, this is one of those rare ones. Right, kettle on and biccies, this is going to be a very long enjoyable night….
What a lovely comment – thank you so much David! Worth getting up at 6am on a Sunday for! Hope you enjoyed reading it. Stay tuned for Milan news next week! KT x
