Well known for her style and flair in the interior design world, Nicola Hadfield continues to prove her unique flair for synthesising the best of the classical and the contemporary while remaining at the cutting edge of style with her originality and individuality. She continuously keeps her finger on the creative pulse by dividing her time between London, pastoral southwest France and her beautiful home in Cape Town.
Nicola's recent range of design-focused projects includes her first book Beautiful Homes of South Africa (2007), which immediately went into reprint and was a Publisher's Choice selection, the television series Design Inspiration on the Home Channel, her consulting role in Johannesburg's state-of-the-art Design Quarter, and creative marketing projects for prestigious clients such as Gallo Images and The South African Guild of Interior Designers (SAGID), now IID, whose corporate identity and commercial philosophy she has rebranded and strategised. Since single-handedly establishing the Decorex SA exhibitions, she has gone on to receive many local and international nominations and awards.
Also in demand as a design commentator on new visionary developments in creative spheres, Nicola is sought after as a consultant and keynote speaker on design, entrepreneurial endeavours and women in business. Her latest business venture is an events and creative marketing company specialising in high-end corporate events.
