Victoria Herbert

With a personal focus on bespoke and the emotive quality of materials, Victoria works closely with clients to define a functional and aesthetic brief that is answered with sensitive, considered design specific to the client and their unique story. As principal interior designer for McGuinness Architects she works both independently and alongside the architectural team on residential and select commercial projects for the studio.

With a degree in Interior Design from Parsons, The New School for Design in New York, Victoria was awarded the graduating prize in Design Excellence. She credits her training there for her rigorous approach to space-planning (she was taught by architects) and her commitment to drawing as an essential part of the design process, revealing both opportunity and potential pitfall.

Her first degree in Fashion Communication at Central St Martin’s (and subsequent career as a fashion writer) has helped shape a creative thinking process and the ability to read and interpret mood. Returning to London in 2017, Victoria has worked for a number of eminent London design studios (HBA, Hubert Zandberg, Peter Mikic, Hazel Collins) with projects for private clients in London, New York, Miami and Colorado.
