WELCOME!
CCID has had a flurry of new followers after completing some recent commercial and residential projects.
So, thought I would reintroduce myself as the face behind the company: Cassandra Chessum Interior Design.
I’m Cassandra, but most people call me Cassie. This is me in the photo over the summer in the Cotswolds.
I was born into a large family of antiques dealers and textile designers. It’s fair to say that interior design is in my blood.
So, it is no surprise that my earliest memories involve trailing after my parents as they searched for antiques in Chelsea.
For as long as I can remember, I have always been interested in architecture, design and interiors.
After buying and renovating an 18th century thatched cottage by the coast, I decided to turn my passion into a career.
I have been working in interior design for the last 10 years, setting up CCID and creating beautiful and sustainable spaces.
Before studying and practicing interior design, I worked for over 15 years in sustainability and the built environment.
As a Director of a Public Affairs, I worked on projects related to climate change, energy, water and responsible sourcing.
Throughout my career to date, I have gained a set of transferable skills, making me an excellent project manager.
This ensures that I am well placed to complete interior design projects to time and to budget.
Plus my shrewd negotiating skills ensure that I can negotiate competitive prices with suppliers and trades people.
Outside of work, I am a devoted mother to two gorgeous children. I love swimming and sailing, as well as Pilates and meditation.
I split my time between the cosmopolitan city of London and the stunning coast and countryside of Devon and Cornwall.
If you need inspiration for a project, I would be delighted to discuss how we could turn this into a reality.
