ASHLEY VAN DER WALT | INTERIOR ARCHITECT
“For every minute spent in organising, an hour is earned.”
As an interior designer at Fox Browne Creative, I have had the privilege of working on several lodges, private bush homes, and villas from conception to completion, all located in beautiful remote locations. These include the award-winning andBeyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge in Namibia, the luxurious Sirai Beach in Kilifi, a private bush home in Sabi Sand, and more recently Daunara Safari Camp in Botswana. I strive for excellence and precision in all aspects of design, relishing the diverse facets of these remarkable projects coming to life within their unique contexts.
Holistic design from the outset is essential for creating authenticity, which is where the magic of our work lies—seamlessly integrating all aspects of design with hospitality operations. At heart, I am a minimalist, naturally inclined towards simple and organic forms that yield intriguing spaces. At Fox Browne Creative, I thrive in an environment that promotes ongoing learning and innovation, contributing to a dynamic and forward-thinking team driven by our commitment to crafting inspired spaces with gracious hospitality that positively impact the world.
Travelling and immersing myself in new places and cultures worldwide fuel my passion for all facets of design—interior, hospitality, product, architectural, and landscaping. My goal is to excel in design, with very little need for Excel. When I'm not creating client presentations, designing captivating spaces, and staying organised, I consider myself a professional tea-maker.
