Ep 6 - How Design Can Bring Meaning To Our Lives - Emilie Jacob

Our surroundings can impact us on a deep level - our home, after all, is the space that we wake up to in the morning and that we return to each night. How can we make sure that these spaces lift us up and really enrich our lives?My guest this episode is Emilie Jacob - the incredible woman who runs the boutique interior design studio Stella and the Stars. She’s known for her signature style: lots of colour and bold spaces.My home is testament to my love of Emilie’s style and I’m definitely not the only one - her work is in demand all across the UAE. Emilie says: “Our home is the place I am going to spend every single day, so it should be a beautiful, cosy place that I enjoy getting back to at the end of each day.” We had a brilliant conversation about creativity and where it comes from, and how her chaotic childhood drives her longing to creating safe and beautiful spaces. It’s honest and full of Emilie’s gorgeous energy.
