Dee is a stay-at-home mum to three boys and lives in North Wales in a 1950s art deco-inspired home with stunning coastal views.  She has a degree in Business Management and spent 22 years working in administration, office management and finance in the private sector and in social services and education and latterly in an online battery business owned by herself and her husband.

Interior design and decorating have always been her passion. She’s spent many enjoyable years personalising every home she’s lived in.  Her current home, which they moved into in 2016, has been a work in progress ever since.  The previous owner remodelled and extended it in 2009, leaving a quirky mix of old and new.  It was the perfect blank canvas for her to create my own style.

After selling her business in 2025, she completely gave up her office job and now has more time for her hobbies and passions.  Interior design remains a favourite, and she’s recently taken up gardening, particularly growing my own vegetables.  Walking is another joy, especially in the beautiful North Wales.
