Women in Interior Design: Tara Rodrigues winner of Channel 4s The Big Interiors Battle 2023

“OK, so my favourite tool is my laser measure. Anthropometrics and ergonomics are a huge consideration with each design proposal and my laser measure facilitates this process enormously.

 I use it for every single project, not only for spatial planning to create floor plans, but also when designing bespoke joinery drawings, wall finishes and even recess shelving! I measure every single nook and cranny in a room to make sure that all my designs sit perfectly where I want them to.

This day is a welcomed moment of reflection to celebrate women who are pursuing careers they love and pioneering in industries that don’t always welcome the ‘female’ voice or perspective. I am always thrilled to see women thriving in different industries. I don’t think success is necessarily tied to a particular career goal or position, it’s just wonderful to see women being excellent in any field.

I’ll be celebrating the day with some other design pals probably chatting all things interiors over a glass of wine.”
