I AM DEAN CONNELL

Creative design consultant based in London. 

I'm passionate about creating natural, enduring and inspirational spaces. As an experienced workplace interior designer and bespoke furniture creator, I specialise in circular design strategies to drive sustainable innovation, reduce waste, and outlast fleeting trends. 

My mission is to help businesses:

  • Demystify sustainability by cutting through the tick-box jargon and focusing on common sense strategies and nature-inspired circular solutions. 🌱
  • Stand out in a competitive market by challenging conventional workplace design norms while tailoring solutions to meet their needs. 🤝

Challenging norms and achieving scale:

Between 2013 and 2020, I was one of the original seven designers at WeWork. As part of that original team, we built a product that disrupted the office market and brought 'coworking' and the flex office into the mainstream. 🏢

My global experience includes delivering over 1.5 million square feet of workspaces in cities like New York, London, Amsterdam, Tel Aviv, Shanghai, Tokyo, Singapore, Sydney, and more. 🌐

Working to understand different cultures, I excelled at translating and blending a global brand with local needs. A local asset of sorts and someone with the heart and patience of a teacher - always leading by example and inspiring younger designers to be bold, think outside the box and express themselves. ✨

I'm skilled in space planning and staging interiors from concept to completion, with expertise in bespoke furniture design and sustainable sourcing. I'm commercially minded and well-versed in collaborating on-site with contractors and project managers to deliver complex fit-outs on time and within budget. 💷

Creating content and exploring the future of finance: 

In addition to working as a design consultant, I'm a passionate advocate for financial literacy and personal finance. I create educational content to help people navigate the fascinating world of digital crypto assets, showing how this transformative technology can generate passive income and cash flow. 🚀
