About Daisy Whittaker Designs

I launched Daisy Whittaker Designs in Autumn 2020.  I enjoy developing close, personal relationships with my clients and love being able to transform their homes.  I have been fortunate enough to help clients from across Essex, Kent, Hertfordshire and abroad.   My projects have ranged from single rooms to full house refurbishments and redevelopments, but I give personal attention to each and every one of them to deliver a professional yet sensitive service.  

I am a part time University Lecturer teaching BA Interior and Spatial Design at South Essex College which allows me to network with young designers and gives opportunity for collaborations.  I also teach on the International job role at the University which allows me to teach Interior Design to students studying in China. Prior to setting up my business I gained invaluable industry experience working as a Junior Designer at the world-renowned design studio, Kelly Hoppen Interiors. I loved this complex role and developing my skills alongside some of the top senior designers and their teams.  I was able to work closely with Ms Hoppen, meet clients and design for international residential properties.

I graduated from University of Arts London with a 1st class Honours degree in Interior Design.  Whilst I was studying, I worked for the leading British luxury yacht manufacturer – Princess Yachts.  I gained experience in high-end marine design and interiors, designing for small spaces requiring minute precision where every millimeter counts.  

Towards the end of my studies, I had the opportunity to stage an exhibition at the London OXO Tower for the general public and leading industry experts which gained a record-breaking number of attendees.  As part of my degree, I collaborated with students from the New York School of Interior Design to create a gallery space for an established US artist.  This enabled me to forge strong contacts and international relationships.
