Meet the Team
Great design starts with great people.
At Harp Design, we believe exceptional projects are built through collaboration. Sometimes we become an extension of our client's team, working alongside architects, project managers and stakeholders. Other times, we bring together our own trusted network of consultants, contractors, manufacturers and specialist suppliers to build the right team around the project.
Every project is different, but our approach remains the same—bringing together the right people, sharing knowledge and working collaboratively to achieve the very best outcome.

Always Learning
Commercial interior design is constantly evolving, and we believe our clients deserve advice based on first-hand knowledge.
That's why we regularly visit manufacturers, attend factory tours and take part in product demonstrations to understand exactly how the furniture, finishes and materials we specify are made and perform over time.
By investing in continuous learning, we're able to make informed recommendations that deliver lasting value, exceptional quality and sustainable design solutions.
Because the best designers never stop learning.
Innovation Through Partnership
Some of our most exciting work happens through collaboration.
The Hotel Room of the Future, showcased at the NoVacancy Expo, brought together an incredible team of manufacturers, suppliers and industry specialists to explore the future of hospitality design. Working alongside our trusted partners allowed us to create an immersive concept focused on sustainability, guest wellbeing and innovative design.
Projects like these allow us to test new ideas, challenge conventional thinking and bring fresh inspiration into every client project.
Sharing Knowledge
We believe great design starts with great conversations.
Through The Interior Design Podcast, Hayley regularly speaks with industry leaders, manufacturers, contractors and fellow designers about the future of commercial interiors. From hospitality trends and sustainable design to wellbeing, inclusive environments and innovation, the podcast explores the ideas shaping our industry.
Sharing knowledge, learning from others and challenging conventional thinking helps us continue to grow—bringing fresh ideas and informed design solutions to every project we deliver.
Beyond the Drawing Board
Our passion for design doesn't stop at our projects.
Through The Interior Design Podcast, we share ideas, explore industry trends and speak with experts from across the construction, hospitality and interiors sectors. These conversations keep us connected, curious and continuously learning—ensuring our clients benefit from the latest thinking and best practice.
Building Relationships That Last
We believe great projects are built on great relationships.
Throughout the year we enjoy spending time with our clients, consultants and industry partners, whether that's collaborating on projects, attending exhibitions, visiting suppliers or supporting charitable events.
One of our favourite traditions is taking part in the annual Daniel Connal Sandcastle Competition, where we proudly team up with Ellisons Solicitors. It's a fantastic opportunity to catch up with colleagues across the construction and property industry, and we're delighted to have taken home the winning trophy twice over the years!
These moments remind us that successful projects don't just come from technical expertise,they come from trust, communication and enjoying the journey together.
