| Alan Fennell |
 |
| |
Having
run away from school more than twelve
times, it should come as no surprise
that Alan Fennell is not your regular academic scholar. |
| |
|
| |
Completely self-taught in the ways of
the world and other facts of life, he
has never stopped acquiring incidental
knowledge about this, that and anything
else under the sun that happened to grab
his interest. |
| |
|
| |
For
twenty-five years Alan practiced as an
interior decorator before becoming the
founder/publisher/editor of Designing
Ways magazine wherein he attempts to
impart this knowledge on unsuspecting
readers |

Born in South Africa, and growing up in Johannesburg, the talented Sharon was taught and trained by the renowned designer of the time Monica Bosch. After spending four years with Monica, Sharon uprooted herself and moved to Cape Town, where she gained experience in an architectural firm. Sharon then moved to Innovation to become the in-house designer and manager of their domestic division.
After a successful tenure at Innovation, Sharon opened her own design consultancy, where she designed and decorated many of Cape Town’s prominent homes.
The ascendancy of Sharon’s career followed her return to Johannesburg where she joined Spegash Interiors as an associate designer, later to acquire the studio, where Sharon’s singular aesthetic firmly took root and flourished.
In addition to designing innumerable cover page interiors, has made frequent guest appearances on life style related television programs, all the while working her magic on the homes of the Fortune 500 clients. |
