About me

I’m Claudia Schmidek (also known as Kika), an Interior Designer with an Architecture Degree. 

After working for some years as a Part II Architect, and even more years as an Interior Designer (both in London and abroad), I'm equipped with an understanding of the structural , functional and aesthetic elements of design, and also how each space affects us, both physically and psychologically speaking.

With a wide knowledge of fabrics, woods and materials in general, I have previously worked as a Jewellery Designer/ Maker and also Set & Costume Designer/ Maker. Coming from a creative family with a DIY atitude ingrained in my genes, I have a tendency to think outside the box and am always ready for new challenges.

My unique approach creatively combines time-honoured principles with modern sensibilities and to create spaces that are not only beautiful and functional, but also deeply nurturing and harmonious.
