Our Team
I’m Nick McNally - welcome to our kitchen design studio
Before moving into kitchen design, Nick honed his creativity through Art College and a degree in Interactive Media Design. Alongside his studies in Edinburgh, he worked as a chef in a busy commercial kitchen and with joiners on construction sites—an invaluable balance of environments that shaped his practical, hands-on design philosophy.
This unique blend of artistry, technical skill, and real-world experience underpins the guiding principles of his studio. Nick counts himself fortunate to be one of those rare people who wake up each morning genuinely excited to get to work. He believes that truly listening to clients is the most important step in creating kitchens that feel both personal and exceptional.
Our work is built on collaboration, passion, and skill—discover the team who make it possible.
