About Surface & Soul

Client Testimonials

  • Working with Bri has been an absolute pleasure. She helped me bring my vision to life with so much care, creativity, and attention to detail. Bri listened to what I wanted, she worked hard throughout the process, was always reliable, and made everything feel calm and organised, even when there were lots of moving parts. She has an eye for design and offers full commitment to the project. I'm so grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an interior designer who truly cares.
