Leading the Brand.

Co-Founder & Director
Izel’s known for doing things differently. With over eight years experience at renowned brands such as Smallbone and Poliform, working in both traditional and modern design means she’s constantly pushing the boundaries to create unique solutions that provide the best outcome for every space.
Her background in Product Design means she knows a good design must respond to the brief. She immerses herself in every detail – from how you move around your kitchen to how your finest accessories are organised in your personal dressing room or home study. This was recognised with the nomination as the Kitchens, Bedrooms and Bathroom designer of the year finalist, where smart and considered solutions were organised into the project to help family life.
What do Izel’s clients think about her? She’s smart, transparent, and down-to-earth. Whether it’s a large development where each room needs designing or a kitchen, she’s a creative problem solver, and takes pride in delivering outstanding design, and a friendly, conscientious service.
“The flow of use and functionality of the space is crucial. Without the consideration of these two elements, a beautiful design will not stand the test of time.”

Co-Founder & Director
Damian’s passion? Personalised design. He’s all about taking a client’s brief, and creating a space that’s perfectly tailored to them, and their lifestyle. After studying architecture, he found his home in bespoke interior and furniture design where the details make all the difference to delivering a client’s vision.
With over five years experience at distinguished furniture brand Smallbone, he’s designed everything from large retail projects down to extraordinary luxury homes, spanning London, New York, Shanghai and Dubai. He’s a people person, which is why he’s formed lasting relationships with private clients, developers and industry specialists alike.
His speciality? Large, multi-room projects packed full of personality. Taking the principles of architecture, his approach starts with a clear understanding of the overall space, how it’s used and how the different rooms work together, and most importantly he always puts the client’s vision first.
“Designers can often push their own agenda when deciding how something should look, but listening to a client’s brief is essential. By understanding a client’s needs and designing in response to them - truly bespoke designs are created”
You’ll find Damian and his designs in renowned publications including The Sunday Times, Homes and Gardens, Kitchen Bedroom Bathrooms and many more.

Different perspectives and diverse knowledge is what makes a design great. That’s why we combine the holistic principles of architecture with the functional approach of product design to create seamless spaces that put personality, aesthetics, and function first. We know how to refine the small details, whilst still ensuring every room works together.

At VWD, we believe every project is unique and therefore deserves a unique approach. With clients that range from industry leaders to business people and local families, we have a breadth of experience designing kitchens, dressing rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms, through to more specialist areas such as bars, cinemas, and poker rooms. We cater to any design requirement and will make the process as easy for you and your build team right from the start.

Our Workshop

Based deep in the English countryside, our Wiltshire workshop is home to a specialist joinery team with a wealth of experience bringing luxury projects to life. Though they’ve come from humble beginnings, our artisan crafters are known for producing innovative projects that put them at the forefront of joinery design. Working closely with our London-based design team, they’re here to deliver our designs with unrivalled quality.

As design leaders, we’re all about the materials. We love having the opportunity to work with a variety of timbers, metals, and stones to create an aesthetic that’s right for you, and your home. Through close collaboration with our in-house material specialists, we’ve developed bespoke techniques and hand-build specific requirements for your project, to ensure it’s built to last.

Quality is what we stand for. That’s why we’ve introduced rigorous quality and stress checks throughout the manufacture of your cabinetry, to make sure every piece is built to the highest standard. We’re proud of our production standard, and want to make sure you love it too, that’s why we invite you to come to our workshop, meet our artisans and view your cabinetry whilst it’s being made.
