Sainsbury’s shoot

Elizabeth Danon
Shopping

Elizabeth Danon has a natural creative flare and has joined Pippa Jameson Interiors as our Shopping Contributor.  Liz will have her finger on the pulse reporting on all that is new and exciting in homewares as well as working on style shopping pages.

After completing a degree in interior architecture at Brighton University I worked in London as a marketing and events coordinator. My passion for design persisted as I began some freelance interior design for a couple of clients where I managed the design from conception on some very creative projects,including a re-design for a hotel bar and reception area on Brighton seafront and a design for a lingerie boutique off Bond Street in London.  I love the freedom of design and styling, ranging from temporary structures at music festivals to sleek home interiors.  My passion for interior styling and functional space means that I am constantly on the look out for new interior accessories, gadgets, colour concepts and innovative design ideas.

Laura Timmons
Craft

We are very happy to welcome the talented Laura Timmons to our team.  Laura will be suggesting clever and easy ‘make’ ideas for the home which will be displayed as beautiful illustrations.

Laura graduated from Nottingham Trent University last summer with a First Class Honours Degree in Decorative Arts. Her passion lies within making, drawing, creative display and presentation. She loves vivid colours not that you could tell from her wardrobe. She enjoys visiting second hand shops and vintage markets in search of unusual, amazing and often unpractical things! She works for Andy Hillman, a set designer based in London and spends her ‘alone time’ reading a variety of contemporary magazines, visiting galleries and making things; some edible and some decorative!
