I'm Claire Louise Cuthill, a Cape Town-based interior designer with a hands-on, collaborative approach. I began my career at Studio Cronje as a Junior Interior Designer, where I built a strong foundation across the full project lifecycle—learning build phases, producing detailed plans and schedules, designing custom furniture, and supporting installations. As I grew into a midweight role, I took on greater project management responsibilities: preparing comprehensive joinery packs, conducting site visits nationwide, making on-site decisions, coordinating with subcontractors, detailing architectural elements, issuing finishes and sanitaryware schedules, and mentoring new staff while helping the studio grow.
