Designer in Profile - Yvette Taylor Position within company Design director & Founder Company Taylor Interiors Website www.taylor-interiors.com Tell us a little about your background in design I trained firstly as a fashion designer and I spent two years working in the costume department of a national theatre. I felt limited by the human form, however, and I wanted to translate my passion for colour, pattern and fabrics into interiors. So I moved to Los Angeles and graduated from UCLA with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Interior Design, before completing my MBA in New York. I then spent six years working for Swedish company SKANSKA on large commercial projects, and then in 2005, I launched my own interior design practice in Mallorca, Spain. The years I spent focused on Mediterranean residential properties for international clients were invaluable and in 2011, my client base grew and I relocated my company to the UK. We control our overseas projects from our office in London. READ MORE... 28 Design Industry Weekly News
