Show Notes

EP.109: Today I’m with Sophie Rowell, founder & principal designer at Cote de Folk. Sophie has over 22yrs experience working as an international art director & fashion stylist - & decided to transition into the world of interiors, launching her design studio in 2016 in the coastal town of Folkestone. Sophie believes that our surroundings profoundly impact our well-being & sense of identity - & designs homes that reflect the personality & lifestyle of their owners. She says, “Your environment is important. I believe we all need a home that uplifts the spirit.” I recorded an episode with Sophie at the beginning of the year, & she’s back to talk about the incoming new season.
