Di Overton’s Summary
Over 30 years experience in design firstly as a knitwear designer then owner of an advertising agency for over 20 years.
Finally moved to the country to produce a range of eco chic furniture. Taking vintage finds, mainly from French brocantes and flea markets and giving them a new lease of life with a modern twist. I have achieved my goal of having a much more relaxed and creative lifestyle in the most beautiful county in England.
I also write a design blog which keeps me in touch with current trends and some really interesting, like minded people.
