Sophia – Interior Design and Decor

Hello. My name is Bianca. Welcome to the Sophia Design Website. 

I created Sophia Design in May 2007. I am a interior designer and decorator and I love what I do. My 7 years experience in the field gives me creative freedom alongside product knowledge and awareness that is every changing and growing.

I inspire and work with my clients to bring forth who they are or what they (business / hotel etc. ) represent. I have worked with people from all walks of life, colour and status. I walk a path with my clients, utilising my skills, knowledge, experience and talent to create and realise their dreams.

Who do I offer my services to?

  • Residential – across the board
  • Offices – both small businesses, corporate and home.
  • Hospitality – hotels, Guest houses, lodges, B&B’s, restaurants etc.
  • Retail : Small shop fronts, franchises, etc.
  • Developers and Architects : As specifiers

Depending on the project I will outsource to, or recommend other professionals where required. I can also effortlessly slot into an existing team of professionals at any stage of a project..

I am passionate about the earth and its inhabitants, therefore Sophia Design focus strongly on Environmental friendly, Human friendly, Animal friendly and Sustainable alternatives.

 

Where did it all begin?

I  started my professional career in 2002 when I was hired as an assistant designer and decorator. My enthusiasm and willingness to learn soon allowed me to handle my own clients and projects for the company as well as the opportunity to work on larger projects with other architects, designers and decorators. Our  projects ranged from small apartments to entire office buildings and hotels.
The education and knowledge I gained in those first 5 years set me on course to start my own company in May 2007: Sophia Design.  With 7 years experience in the industry I am proud to say that I still love what I do and enjoy every new challenge.

More about my personal life:
I am bilingual, my native tongue: Afrikaans  I love eating and have therefore also become quite a good cook. I am passionate about the Earth and love animals. Reading, dancing, laughing, hiking and mountain climbing, visiting with friends and tending to my stoep garden (and earthworms)  are but a few of the other things that occupy my time.

If you would like to meet me for coffee before entering into any contract with me, please do not hesitate to e-mail me to set up a meeting.
