There is beauty in everything. What normal people perceive as ugly, I usually see something of beauty in it.

Debra and I launched Fox Browne Creative in 2009 with a vision to make the world a better place through hospitality design. I thrive on creative solutions and believe in enhancing businesses through creativity. I am constantly curious about the intricacies of hospitality operations and industry dynamics.

At the core of our design philosophy is the belief that interiors should be tactile, layered, and meticulously crafted to maximise comfort and sensuality. We are passionate about creating spaces that evoke a profound sense of place. When conceptualising designs, our focus remains steadfast on how the guest will feel when using the space, ensuring every detail contributes to a memorable stay.

Prior to founding Fox Browne Creative, I served as Creative Director at andBeyond Travel, a renowned experiential travel company, where I shaped the brand's aesthetic across all guest interactions for fifteen transformative years. During this tenure, I was part of the team that spearheaded the expansion of the company from 4 lodges to 40, spanning 9 countries across Africa, India, the UK, USA, Latin America, and South America.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege to design and launch over 50 award-winning lodges across Africa and India, meticulously selecting and exploring locations that inspire our creative process. My work has been repeatedly celebrated among the Top 100 Hotel Designers in the World by Andrew Martin and featured in esteemed publications such as Architectural Digest, Elle Decoration (French and UK editions), House and Garden, Travel + Leisure, and Condé Nast Traveller, among others. Each project reflects our commitment to creating inspired spaces in beautiful places with gracious hospitality that set new standards in luxury and guest experience.
