'Sustainable Interior Design' RIBA Books
Calling upon my 30 year career in sustainable design – specialising in vegan design and the circular economy – by dissecting sustainable interior design in 11 ways, I demonstrate through international examples how the conscious design of buildings, interiors and products can lessen the industry’s impact on people, planet and animals.

Part of the certification process requires that the Articles of Association (the legal statement by a business) is changed to state that through its business and operations, the company has a positive impact on society and the environment in everything they do.
LFA is a professional accreditation that recognises proficiency in the world’s most ambitious, advanced, and holistic regenerative design standards. Administered by the International Living Future Institute (ILFI) their accreditation LFA and their certification for buildings the Living Building Challenge, are based on a framework of categories, based on the symbol of a seven-petaled flower, that help guide the design of buildings that do more good than harm and demonstrate "what good looks like". The petals include the consideration of place, water, energy, materials, health, beauty and equity - used with ILFI's wide span of tools to use to certify products, projects and communities.

PROFESSIONAL ACCREDITATION British Institute of Interior Design (BIID)
I'm very proud to have been a BIID Registered Interior Designer® at the British Institute of Interior Design (BIID) since 2013. This is the only professional institute for interior designers in the UK recognised by the British Government.
The BIID has a reassuringly challenging joining process to ensure professionalism, ability and qualifications. I became a full member from outset to both assure clients of my abilities but also because I want to keep up my learning and network with my industry.⠀
Our membership ensures proper practice, qualifications, knowledge, insurances & professional development.
Let's share knowledge....
I have worked with Chloe at Materialise on many projects. She has made a huge and invaluable contribution to the finished quality of our college and residential environments at different locations in the UK.
Chloe has the rare combination of creative, down to earth common sense, practical knowledge and great supplier contacts. She really takes the time to understand client needs and has an obvious passion for quality and service.
She’s friendly and easy to work with and I would thoroughly recommend her.

“Working with Chloe was such a pleasure! Her knowledge plus her design and sourcing skills made the whole project a fun adventure rather than the stressful one it could have been without her.
The physical distance was not a problem at all, Chloe visited the site a few times, when necessary, but was otherwise able to manage the refurbishment remotely. A year on and the clinic still receives almost daily compliments and are still completely thrilled with the way it turned out.”

It was a HUGE pleasure to be interviewed by a favourite podcast of mine - The Great Indoors - by designer and interior stylist Sophie Robinson & journalist and author Kate Watson Smyth.
In the podcast we talk about sustainable and ethical design with some insights and tips to help listeners. I very much enjoyed doing it and I hope you enjoy listening.
