My recent appearance in the Nostalgia ‘soulful homes’ video series
In summer 2025, the Nostalgia film team invited me to be a part of their independent documentary series. Nostalgia create visual poems that capture the beauty and intimacy of a person’s space. To accompany the home footage, I invited them to Liguria, my Italian homeland, to hunt for trompe l’œil and show them the local towns where my deeper connection with colour lies.
I hope the video helps explain my roots, my inspiration, and my abiding love of colour.
Produced by Lena Khokhlova and filmed by Ilya Ilyukhin.
SUMMER 2026 WORKSHOPS
Delysian Colour System training
I offer training in my unique Delysian Colour System. The training is split into two workshops: Part 1: Aesthetic Narrative, and Part 2: Colour Perspective.
Contact me if you’d like advice on my workshops.
Part 1
Aesthetic Narrative
Colour and the Story of a Home
25 April, 27 June, 18 July
An engaging workshop focused on how to utilise colour to convey stories and evoke emotions within interior spaces. In this interactive session, you’ll acquire the skills needed to recognise key factors for creating a meaningful colour scheme and learn how to implement it effectively.
Uncover how to leverage colour as a powerful communication tool, influencing behavior and experience as you explore the concept of an ‘aesthetic narrative.’ Learn to curate colour with intention and purpose, creating distinctive spaces that nurture atmosphere, mood, and support the regulation of the nervous system.
Part 2
Colour Perspective
An Immersive Exploration of Colour
16 May, 28 June, 19 July
Discover the principles of working with colour as a moving, dynamic element for advanced combinations. This system emphasises the shift in hues grounded in the natural phenomena of light and shadow, offering a more sophisticated approach to scheme appreciation.
In this hands-on workshop filled with real-life examples, you’ll elevate colour schemes and advance your asethetic style, as you learn to read colour in a three-dimensional way. See how to apply unexpected hues to transition harmoniously across rooms with measureable, light-informed sensibility – a hallmark of my proprietary Delysian Colour System.

Two dates chosen by you at time of booking
Book part 1 and 2 of my DCS training at the same time and save 20% on part 2.
A completely unique approach to colour education with combined learning methods of experience-immersion, theory, and practice, applied over your chosen study duration. This is particularly useful for new designers or those wanting to take their time to process their notes and worksheets, or practice, in-between the two training days.
Discover how heritage, place and identity can inform schemes that make unique and nostalgic spaces to live in, as you interact with the colours and aesthetic of my Georgian cottage. Using your own case study, you will then produce a narrative profile and map, applying the principles taught in part 1 of the Delysian Colour System, to make your scheme.
Then, at a later date, complete the part 2 workshop on how to read colour in a three-dimensional way, focusing on combinations that are grounded in the natural phenomena of highlight and shadow. Learn how to apply the principles of colour perspective and placement to advance your Aesthetic Narrative scheme using designer fabrics and other surface materials.
Take my new part 1+2 course (full-day), and save 20% on both parts 1 and 2.
