Most design decisions are money decisions too, and they get made in the same moment.

IN HER WORDS

Ask about the number first

Tell me the number at the start, not once the concept has been approved. With it early there is time to work out where the money should go, and more usefully, where it should not.

Why we turn work down

Turning work down is part of protecting the work we already have. A studio that overcommits delivers badly, and in this city that follows you around.

Growing slowly, on purpose

We grew slowly, on purpose. A hire has to improve the work. Otherwise it is only a bigger studio.

LEADS

Financial strategy, operations and studio management.

ALSO OVERSEES

Segments Experience, the studio's turn-key fit-out venture.
