Clare Pater: Founder and Lead Designer

Clare, the creative force behind Nova Nilla, graduated from Leeds University with a degree in Fashion Design. Her fashion career included designing for both high-end and high street fashion labels, with her work showcased at London and New York Fashion Weeks and featured in numerous fashion magazines.

While raising her children, Clare transitioned into graphic design and discovered her passion for interior design through several successful projects. Balancing her graphic design career with interior design projects, Clare pursued additional training in CAD for interiors and, within a year, fully dedicated herself to interior design. In 2018, she founded Nova Nilla Design. Clare has since led a diverse array of projects, from residential refurbishments and new builds to commercial developments and office spaces.
