What’s your idea of a perfect family holiday?
"For family hols, we love Harbour Island in The Bahamas, it's super relaxed and unspoilt. For staycations, Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve (our 600-acre wild animal reserve and conservation hotel in Kent) is perfect for families wanting a meaningful holiday in safari-chic lodges and no carbon footprint! All profits from overnight stays go directly back to the animals, so what's not to love."
What does sustainability mean to you?
"With my background in fashion and now interior design, I see so many new sustainable materials coming to the market. Every decision process I make with my designs I evaluate whether a more sustainable material can be used (such as econyl carpets made from recycled fishing nets & plastic bottles).
If you had to choose, where is your favourite place on earth (so far)?
"Wow, tough question! Africa is where my heart lies and I can see myself spending more time out there, maybe building some luxury conservation safari lodges, who knows?!
Looking back on your successes what piece of advice would you share?
"Grab every opportunity and don’t be afraid to take risks. For me, surrounding myself in nature and doing a job that fundamentally makes a difference in the world of conservation is the most rewarding."'
