My Design Ethos
Bold by intention. Atmospheric by design.
Fallen Marilyn Interior Design is an independent design practice, creating richly layered homes with colour, character and unmistakably personal atmosphere.
I work closely with a small number of clients, bringing a strong creative direction grounded in how they want to live.

What Sets Me Apart
My Experience
Before interiors, I was an engineer for over 20 years. I trained formally as an interior designer with Institute of Art and Interior Design in NYC, but the engineering never left.
Engineering taught me how buildings breathe, the systems behind the walls and the logic beneath the floors.
That technical literacy I bring to every interior.
Not just an eye for beauty but twenty years of understanding how the built environment actually works.
How spaces are procured, sequenced, delivered.
How suppliers are managed, relationships are built, and deadlines are protected without sacrificing the vision and budget.
I’ve lived and worked across Poland, France, and the U.S, and England has been home for 22 years, which means I approach every brief with a genuinely international lens, whether it’s a period property or a hospitality concept.
Client Satisfaction
Your vision, fully realised.
I prioritise open communication and collaboration, ensuring that your vision is fully realised in every aspect of the design process. My commitment to understanding your needs and preferences means I go above and beyond to create spaces that truly resonate with you.
Tailored Design Experience
Designed around how you actually live.
I begin by immersing ourselves in your vision, gathering insights about your style, needs, and lifestyle. This personalised approach allows me to create designs that resonate deeply with you — with your feedback woven into every stage of the journey.
