We're back at the studio this week, getting set up for the year ahead.
At the start of 2026, it feels like we’re stepping into something exciting.
Last year was full of change and new beginnings - travel to Morocco, finally finishing my bathroom and dressing room after nine years, joining my friend Lynn at The Trove in Melville, completing a family home in Zambia, and lining up lots of new projects for the year ahead.
Amid all this, I’ve felt a quiet shift inside me, toward more clarity, confidence, and intention. I’ve been thinking a lot about agency this year, not as something to show off, but as a way of moving through life. The ability to make deliberate choices, trust your instincts, and take responsibility for the direction you’re heading. Building thoughtfully. Creating boldly. I know I’ll need that energy in 2026, and maybe you will too.
The holidays reminded me to slow down. Staying in Johannesburg, spending time with family, and enjoying the calm of a city that softens when everyone heads to the coast. Space to think. Space to imagine. Space to feel ready.
