Exploring how thoughtful design can create spaces that work better for the people who use them.
OKOS KOTI brings together design, human-centred thinking, wellbeing and creative exploration to look at the relationship between people and the environments around them.
Good design isn’t just about creating something that looks good.
It’s about understanding how a space is used, how it feels and what it asks of the people within it.
My background is in interior design, and my work is increasingly interested in the wider relationship between people and the environments around them.
I’m interested in why spaces work, why they don’t, and how we might design them differently.
That might mean rethinking a healthcare waiting room, exploring sensory-friendly environments, considering how a classroom supports learning, or simply questioning how our homes influence everyday life.
OKOS KOTI is a space for design work, research, writing and ideas exploring how we experience the environments around us.
Some projects are practical.
Some are conceptual.
Some begin with a question.
What could we do differently?
Alongside design projects, OKOS KOTI explores the wider relationship between home, wellbeing, creativity and everyday life.
You’ll find practical resources, articles, design ideas and explorations covering subjects from interiors and home organisation to wellbeing, astrology and the ways we connect with the spaces around us.

There isn’t always one right answer in design.
Sometimes the most interesting place to start is with a question.
How could this space work better?
How could it feel different?
How could it support the people who use it?
That’s what I’m exploring through OKOS KOTI.
Alongside my research and design work, I offer design support for people and organisations looking at their spaces differently.
This can range from design advice and creative problem-solving to more focused human-centred design projects, depending on the environment, the challenge and what is needed.
