After a Business Management degree in Paris (ISG), I arrived in London in 1994. I love London for its dynamic spirit, its diversity and cultural mix. I decided to pursue a more artistic career and first worked as a milliner until I took the direction of a company which created, imported and sold Moroccan accessories to retailers.
After Paris, I lived in Bayswater, Earls Court, then Wandsworth and Balham, thus moving five times within London. I managed our home improvement project, which helped me discover my attraction for interior design. One thing led to another and soon I had my first client and a new project (restructuring a house and designing it). I then retrained as an Interior Designer at KLC, worked for a property developper and finally, in July 2014, set up my company Le Studio M. I like working on all kinds of projects from the smallest to the biggest, bringing in the different solutions and trades as necessary, restructuring spaces if required; I enjoy mixing different materials, textures, styles, and colours … always with the ambition of combining aesthetic and personal vision with practical skills.
