Kathleen Aked
principal designer
Meet Kathleen, the visionary behind SIR CLEO. With over 13 years of experience in the construction and design industry, Kathleen brings a wealth of expertise and a unique perspective to every project she undertakes.
At the heart of her design philosophy, Kathleen believes that spaces have the power to evoke emotion and create meaningful connection. This philosophy revolves around infusing the client’s personality and functional needs into every aspect of the project. She takes the time to truly understand her clients’ needs, desires and preferences, and interweaves them seamlessly into the fabric of each project. Kathleen listens closely to her clients, often finding that a particular texture or material strikes a chord with something they have expressed, serving as a catalyst for the design process.
For Kathleen, it’s not just about creating beautiful spaces - it’s about crafting holistic design solutions that excite and inspire. Through this approach to design, Kathleen creates spaces that are tailored to the unique lifestyle of each client. Her designs exude a sense of comfort, naturalness, and ease, reflecting the individuality and personality of those who inhabit them.

Welcome to SIR CLEO, where every project is a journey of exploration and creativity. Founded on Kathleen’s design philosophy of personalised design, we believe in embracing the individuality of each client and tailoring our approach to suit their unique vision and lifestyle.
At SIR CLEO, we pride ourselves on our versatility and adaptability. We don’t subscribe to one particular style; instead, we draw inspiration from a diverse range of influences, allowing us to create spaces that are as unique as the clients we work with.
Our approach to design is holistic and multidimensional. Our process begins with getting to know our clients on a deeply personal level, understanding their needs, wants, and desires. We believe that every element of a space - from textures and materials to lighting and layout - plays a vital role in creating a cohesive and harmonious environment. By interweaving the needs and preferences of our clients with our creative vision we are able to produce designs that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional, deeply meaningful and rewarding.
