Dementia Home Consultation and Accessible Design for Real Life
Helping You Create a Home That Works for You
I’m Jo. I design homes that work for real life. I know what it means to care for someone with dementia, to live with neurodivergence myself, and to understand that a home that truly supports you changes everything.
I’m an interior designer based in Essex, specialising in dementia home consultations and accessible design. I understand what families are going through, not just professionally, but personally. And I know what thoughtful design can do.
Whether you’re supporting someone with dementia, adapting a home for a disability or mobility need, or creating a calmer space for a neurodivergent family member, I can help you see what needs to change and exactly how to do it.
Accessible & Adaptive Home Design
I help people across Essex and beyond adapt their homes without losing style or comfort. From wheelchair-accessible layouts to sensory-friendly spaces, I design interiors that are practical, beautiful, and inclusive.
Every project is tailored to your lifestyle, with future-proof solutions that support independence, wellbeing, and a true sense of home.
Dementia-Friendly Design That Feels Like Home
If you’re caring for someone living with dementia, I can help you make thoughtful design changes that improve safety, comfort, and confidence. From clearer layouts to calming colour choices, these small but effective adaptations create a home that feels supportive, familiar, and truly personal. I have also written a ‘Dementia Friendly Home’ guide you can download for FREE.
