    Episode 4 - Interior Designer Alex Dauley on Diversity In Interior Design

    In the final episode of season 1, I visit interior designer, television presenter and trailblazer Alex Dauley. In the 10 years since taking an interior design course at KLC School of Design, Alex has built up a portfolio of luxury residential and commercial projects from scratch, headed up the team on C4's 'The Great Home Transformation' and founded United In Design with fellow interior designer Sophie Ashby in 2020. Flying the flag for women of colour in the design sector, Alex tells us how she's levelling the playing field to allow for a more diverse industry with greater opportunities for those from minority backgrounds. We discuss her love of modernist architecture, tips on making your home work for you and how she's stepping into a confident new era as she turns 40.

  2. Laxmi Hussain on Making Art, Motherhood and Grief

    Laxmi Hussain on Making Art, Motherhood and Grief

    Artist Laxmi Hussain explores themes of motherhood and the contours of the female body through her minimalist, abstract line art.  Raised by Filipina and Indian parents in London, she shares how choosing a career in architecture felt like a good balance between satisfying her artistic nature and financial stability. However, feeling her creativity stifled and struggling to find work in that sector, it was, in part, becoming a mother that brought out her practice as an artist.  Laxmi talks about how the grief of losing her mother 5 years ago carried her art forward and the meaning of her signature colour, a vibrant blue. She also has some wise words on dealing with perfectionist tendencies and how she gets out of a rut.  For show notes, resources and transcribed episodes, head to curateanddisplay.co.uk.

    Woodworker Sophie Sellu on Crafting a Life in Sustainable Design

    Do you ever dream of leaving the day job for something with a more considered and slower pace? Award-winning woodworker Sophie Sellu did just that, creating sculptural wooden objects from storm-fallen timber under the name Grain & Knot. Over ten years later, Sophie has set up her workshop on the New Cross Rd where interior photographer Tiffany Grant-Riley sits down with her and her ridiculously handsome whippet, Stanley.  In this episode, Sophie tells us about the uncertainty of graduating with an interior design degree in the middle of a recession, how a solo spoon carving workshop reignited a spark for woodworking from her school days and the importance of sourcing sustainable timber for her sculptural objects. Recently diagnosed with ADHD, Sophie shares the processes she puts in place which allow her to stay passionate about her craft whilst juggling the intricacies of running an online business whilst still finding time to be out in nature.
