LINDA'S FAVOURITE SITES

Love to Learn – A website that’s opened my eyes to a whole range of studies available for me to do in my own time. It offers a wide range of online courses for adults who want to keep learning, in an informal way and at their own pace.

Apartment Therapy – A fantastic site featuring great photos of fabulous interior design. The before and after pages are especially fascinating and it’s great for ideas.

Twitter – I think Twitter is great. I use it as a way to tweet about exclusive new items I have designed and then I know that my fans can see them first.

Ocado – Being an interior designer, training to a dive and being a mother definitely keeps you busy! However, I do like to eat healthy food and look after myself so fresh online deliveries are a godsend.

Tara Stiles Yoga – Tara Stiles is a yoga teacher based in New York. I often use her website to catch up on what she is doing.

Punchfork –  This is a new discovery for me. I am a very visual person so I love looking at recipe ideas this way. The measurements are in cups rather than grams so it tests the mental arithmetic too when converting the weights! …Or I just use a calculator!
