Rachel Aisling Walker is an interior architect and designer, with a broad range of experience running high-end residential, commercial and exhibition projects.

Her aesthetic sensibility is deeply rooted in her upbringing in the lakeside town of Angera, in the Lombardy region of northern Italy.

Countless childhood visits to the historic palaces in the surrounding area were an early source of inspiration: from the richly furnished rooms, Renaissance gardens and 16th-century Flemish tapestries of the Palazzo Borromeo, on the Isola Bella of Lago Maggiore, to the hilltop Rocca di Borromeo dating back to the 13th century.

Rachel received a Bachelors in Interior Architecture from Cardiff Metropolitan University. She later worked for Casson Mann, Rolfe Judd Architects, Harriet Anstruther Studio, and most recently as a senior interior designer at Rose Uniacke, where she spent six years before striking out on her own.

Rachel’s focus is on creating exceptional interiors that are strongly rooted in architecture, design and history, and are at once serene, timeless and inviting. There is a particular emphasis on natural materials, craftsmanship and antiques. She is skilled at mixing antique, modern and contemporary furniture with her own designs, and has an eye for the unexpected.

Rachel has a command of all aspects of a project, from design through to construction. Her calm, measured and meticulous approach resonates with both clients and contractors.
