TWENTY QUESTIONS

QUESTION ONE : Describe yourself in three words.

Smiley, Breezy and Caring

QUESTION TWO : Give us a quick run down of a typical day at Suna for you?

I never have the same day twice which is why I love my job! It could be anything from a full-on design day; scheming, 3D modelling and choosing samples, to a full-on day on site; boots and helmet on, lifting, building and project managing.

QUESTION THREE : What’s your favourite Suna project?

Our design for Mount Anvil’s Head Office and Central Marketing Suite. The mix of materials, the curves, the contrast of light and dark, the lighting, and the overall division and use of the space - I think it is all just absolutely beautiful!

QUESTION FOUR : Tell us something about you we would never guess?

I am quite a serious snowboarder! It is honestly my favourite thing in the world to do. There is no other feeling quite like being on a mountain, top of the world, sun shining and gliding weightlessly through the snow.

QUESTION FIVE : If you had £1,000,000 what would you spend it on?

A chalet in French Alps. A place I could bring my friends and family every winter. We’d spend the day on the mountains, and then come back to the chalet and cook a hearty meal, plenty of wine, games and a late night dip in the hot tub! THE DREAM!

QUESTION SIX : Favourite food/drink?

Favourite drink without doubt is a large cold glass of Sauvignon Blanc. Food is hard but would probably have to be any kind of Greek Food- I love the freshness of it, and I could probably eat my body weight in olives.

QUESTION SEVEN : Least favourite food/drink?

Least favourite drink is Beer, much to my boyfriends disappointment. I would love to be the kind of girl to order a pint, but I just can’t hack it.

QUESTION EIGHT : Favourite film?

Monsters Inc – A silly one, but it was the first film I ever saw in the cinema as a child, and I was completely obsessed with it for years and years. Even now when I watch it, I can still recite almost every line!

QUESTION NINE : Favourite holiday destination?

South of France. My family have gone every single year ever since I was little. I love everything about France, I love its rustic-ness and care-free culture. I sometimes feel I should have been born there as my laid-back personality would fit right in!

QUESTION TEN : What are your top three pet peeves?

• Being rude/ dismissive to waiters or service staff. Or just rudeness in general, it pays to be kind!

• Spitting on the floor in public – Why do men do this?!

• People who watch videos or listen to music on loudspeaker on public transport

QUESTION ELEVEN : What does an ‘ideal weekend’ look like for you?

Spending time with my partner, going on adventures exploring new places! Good food and good drink, and then a lazy Sunday evening cooking a roast and cosying up.

QUESTION TWELVE : What is your favourite possession/piece of furniture/interior item that you own?

My grandma’s ring. My Grandad got it for her when they lived in Jamaica. She kindly gave it to me and it’s something I haven’t taken off since! I think its such an elegant timeless piece.

QUESTION THIRTEEN : Dream home?

Okay we’re aiming big here- But I would love a classic Georgian house in the country, restoring all its original features, and filling it with a beautiful mix of both antique and contemporary furniture. I adore the contrast of old and new in interiors.

QUESTION FOURTEEN : Favourite late night snack?

Melted dark choc on vanilla ice cream!

QUESTION FIFTEEN : What’s your favourite or earliest memory?

My earliest memory is when I lived in New York and mum and I were lying on the grass in Flushing Meadows watching the planes fly so low across as they landed into JFK. I remember being both amazed and absolutely terrified!

QUESTION SIXTEEN : If you weren’t in your current role what other career could you have seen your self doing?

A TV presenter or actress!

QUESTION SEVENTEEN : Who do you look up to and what qualities do your admire about that person?

I look up to my mum – She is honestly the most incredible woman I know. I am constantly in awe of the work she does; her selflessness and passion to help others is truly inspiring. She is unbelievably strong and driven, yet is always kind, which is what I live by.

QUESTION EIGHTEEN : What’s your go-to dish when you have to make dinner?

I love a good tray bake during the week as they’re so quick and delicious. I love a Provençal style one, with chicken thighs, tomatoes, olives, white wine and lots of herbs.

QUESTION NINETEEN : If you had to choose to live in another time period, when would that be?

The Regency period! I absolutely love Georgian architecture; my dream home would be built in this period. I am also a bit of a hopeless romantic and adore the beautiful ballgowns and the idea of attending Balls and going to the opera!

QUESTION TWENTY : Do you have any weird phobias?

I hate anything with closely packed holes in, it makes me feel funny inside. Even bubbles sometimes scare me when there are loads of small ones clumped together. Crumpets, sponges, honeycomb, skin pores. It honestly makes me shiver writing this.
