Kim is the founder of Nest and Flourish Interiors, a Yorkshire-based design studio specialising in inclusive, accessible environments that enhance wellbeing, dignity, and independence. After a 20-year career in nursing, 15 of those as a community nurse, she saw first-hand how thoughtfully designed spaces can transform physical and mental health. This insight led her to retrain at the National Design Academy and bring a clinically informed perspective to interior design.
Today, Kim works with clients across Yorkshire and Greater Manchester to create homes, workplaces, and community settings that support people of all ages, abilities, and neurodiverse needs. Blending healthcare expertise with creative design, she crafts spaces that are not only beautiful but deeply functional, personalised, and empowering. Through Nest and Flourish Interiors, Kim is redefining what inclusive design can look and feel like - proving that purposeful spaces can be stylish, supportive, and truly for everyone.
