What does it mean to you to be named a Walpole 2020 Power List winner?
It’s very humbling to be included in a list of flagbearers for British luxury. The Walpole Power List is full of such inspiring individuals if you are the average of the company you keep, my average is now seriously elevated!
Why do you think you were named on the List this year?
Being able to explore your creativity is a luxury that we can all access. I have always kept this at the heart of everything I do, trying to enrich our everyday lives through creative expression, be it standing in front of great photography, pushing yourself to new levels through education, or just quietly finding a way of telling your story. Creativity and luxury are intertwined.
