Bio
Karen Dawkins
I have worked with Ken on a number of media fit-out projects. These have included, television studio's, post production facilities, newsrooms and offices. Ken has always managed to turn what is initially a boring space into 'wow' space where people like to work. I always think of Ken as quite a visionary in his designs, with the ability to create a heart to his designs. All this is done with commercial and budgetary pragmatism. I would recommend Ken to any media or creative companies wanting an environment that enhances their business.

Ken's experience and understanding of the client exectatons is impressive, especially in the creation of a new brand. Regards Paul Webber
