Who are we?

Carol Bosman is a qualified Interior Designer and a SACAP-registered Draftsman. With a very practical approach and years of experience behind her, Carol has a deep understanding of the construction process and all that it entails. Her strengths lie in working closely with clients from the ground up, bringing a concept and vision to life that starts with the drafting and submission of plans for approval ahead of construction commencing.

She is of the firm belief that a space - whether commercial or residential - must be functional as well as beautiful. In consultation with her clients, Liesl provides a full and versatile service that addresses all elements needed to create a tailor-made space. Applying her considerable experience and talent, and tapping into an established industry network, Liesl is in a fantastic position to bring any design into reality.
