Professional Interior Design Tutor | 20-Year Legal & Business Background

Hello! I’m Natalie, an active interior designer, founder of Pepperpot Interior Designs, and an alumna of both the Interior Design Institute and the Italian Design Institute.

My professional trajectory is uniquely multifaceted—prior to launching my design practice, I spent 20 years working as a corporate legal consultant.I also bring an advanced edge to environmental psychology, having collaborated with Kelly LaPlante on specialised interdisciplinary research interviewing astronauts and space psychologists to map out human-centered design principles for lunar and Mars habitats.

What I Can Help You Master:

Core Coursework & Theory: Conceptual space planning, identifying design styles, atmospheric moodboarding, and creating compelling client presentations.

Design Tech Tools: Specialised, one-on-one troubleshooting and workflow tips for SketchUp (floorplans) and Canva.

The Business & Legalities of Design: Demystifying client contracts, risk management, and commercial studio compliance so you can step into the industry with true operational confidence.

Whether you are a design student tackling a complex project layout or an aspiring freelancer looking to build a protected, legally sound studio practice, I tailor our virtual sessions precisely to your goals!
