My journey in design
Welcome to Design Dilemma Solutions. My name is stephen, and my passion lies in transforming spaces into calm, supportive environments that truly resonate with your needs. With over three decades of hands-on experience and formal interior design training, I'm here to help you navigate your unique design dilemmas.
From site to sanctuary: my foundations
My professional journey started over three decades ago with a small construction company, where I evolved into a versatile tradesman and gained significant experience across multiple trades. This experience inspired me to pursue training as a painter and decorator, perfecting my skills. In 2013, I further enhanced my abilities by completing a college program in Interior Design, graduating with distinction. This distinct combination of hands-on craftsmanship and formal design training enables me to provide solutions that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical and functional.
Global insights, local touch
My career has brought me to cities such as London, New York, and Dublin, where I have collaborated on various projects in residential, retail, and hospitality sectors, ranging from new constructions to historical restorations, as well as bar and restaurant renovations, apartments, and office spaces. This global experience has granted me a wide-ranging perspective and a strong capacity to adjust to different styles, environments, and client requirements. My hope is for clients who work with me to feel they have received invaluable insights that truly enhance their surroundings, cultivating an atmosphere of tranquility and clarity. I work with clients throughout the Dublin-Galway corridor, covering all towns and areas in between, but I am also open to clients in any location. As a gesture of gratitude, I provide a complimentary eBook after each consultation for you to reference back to.
