Architectural Interior Design
TEAM
There are a number of qualities that are common to the entire Hi Design team such as huge enthusiasm and passion for the work produced and a willingness to go the extra mile to create the perfect design for each individual client.
Unlike some larger corporate practices, the work we undertake will not be delegated or sub-contracted to people with whom you have no contact. The people you meet at Hi Design at the outset will be the team you will work with for the duration. We have built our reputation on developing strong open and honest relationships with our clients. We want to be more than just another supplier - we will be an integral part of your team.
Susan Whittle - Managing Director, Workplace Consultant
“The design process is a partnership, a journey which we take together…we will work with you to ensure we deliver the right design for you, for your staff and for your clients..… no two clients are the same and therefore no two designs should be the same.”
Prior to setting up Hi Design in 2007, Susan was Managing Director of Dobergo UK, a high-end commercial glass partitioning company with clients such as Porsche and Mercedes.
She previously held the position of Group Sales and Design Director for Systems By Design which specialised in the interior design and fit-out of large interior projects for clients including Newbury Racecourse, Regus, Eversheds and T Mobile. Here she gained valuable first hand experience in converting design to reality, working closely with construction teams to overcome any site issues and deliver the vision for each project.
Suki Shocker -Senior Interior Designer
"I always aim to create the wow factor. ……. by using 3D visualisation, clients can really see what their space could look like…. and sometimes it encourages them to be a little more adventurous!”
Suki is a highly creative designer and brings his enthusiasm and passion for interiors to every project he is involved in. As a senior designer he has acted as the project lead for several high-profile Hi Design jobs including Speller Metcalfe's Wolverhampton and Malvern offices and Barnett Waddingham’s new 200 desk HQ in Amersham. He was also responsible for the stunning and unusual concept designs completed for BBA Aviation’s new Luton Airport facility and for the amalgamation of offices for Heathcoat Fabrics - this involved moving 150 staff into a grade II listed mill, overcoming the many design and space planning challenges that projects like this bring.
Angela Temperton -Furniture Specialist
”finding the right furniture to fit in with the design team’s vision and yet also meet the clients budget expectations is a challenge I thoroughly enjoy…furniture can make or break a scheme and therefore has to be right"

For the last 8 years Angela has worked within the Hi Design team and specialises in workplace consultancy and in particular in identifying furniture solutions that meet each of our client’s individual needs.
