Aly was fantastic from start to finish. She managed to create a singular vision from our 2 different tastes that we both loved equally. Aly sourced us multiple options for furniture to give us some flexibility. She put us in touch with the team who completed the building work and also plants and liased with them in regards to the media we were using. Communication was great from start to finish we always knew what was need from our end and what the next steps were. Can’t wait to see the project come to life in the summer and will definitely be using san stae again for future projects!

Aly is very easy to work with and makes the whole experience fun. We found her ideas to be thoughtful and rooted in a good understanding of design / practicality / budget and she was always happy to explore alternative options whenever required.

Working with Aly on a show flat for Mary Anne Street has been an absolute pleasure. Her ability to understand our requirements and seamless collaboration with the team has made the entire process enjoyable. Thanks to her extensive network, Aly was also able to source exclusive pieces which gave the flat unique edge. Aly often goes the extra mile with her attention to detail, and was even present during the photoshoot, actively assisting in capturing the flat from the best angles. I highly recommend Aly as an interior designer as her passion in the field makes her a standout choice.

I have worked with Aly on several projects in my professional life as a Quantity Surveyor/Project Manager and at home and each time it has been a pleasure. On each occasion Aly effortlessly understood Client ideas, however vague and has been able to help translate them into comfortable, inviting and stylish spaces. She is very knowledgeable about the market so is able to help achieve and surpass current trends whilst staying within budget. Tapping in to Aly's expertise has saved time searching for the perfect product as well has helping me find the most cost effective methods. Of notable Projects we have collaborated on, Paper Yard in the Gun Quarter of Birmingham, where Aly lead the look for a 77 new build apartment, creating a style heavy of various paper styles much to the like of Client.

I worked with Aly on an interior project for my new (Grade 2* listed) home. She really helped support bringing my vision to life and making suggestions on what would and would not necessarily work in the space. Aly was able to tailor the project based on my needs and budget, which I appreciated as it felt more customized. This included digital design layouts of the space, sourcing materials, and consistent check-ins weekly to ensure we were on the right track. There were a few stress points where I changed direction due to outside circumstances and Aly was able to pivot and help provide options for me to move in a new direction with ease. I am so pleased with the outcome of project, and the beauty of my new home!
