Content Creator / Nurse.
What inspires her:
I am a full-time Senior Occupational Therapist working in the NHS, therefore working with, and supporting a brand such as Oakywood is so important to me as they share the same passion for ergonomics. I currently have a content creator/ interior account on Instagram and I am inspired by the brands I work with, their passion and their creativity.

@karenkalee
UX designer
What inspires her:
I’m a UX designer at PlayStation. I love to express my creativity in both the digital space as well as in interior decorating, and am inspired by Japanese / Scandinavian minimalism and intentional living. Since I mainly work from home, my goal is to create an efficient office space during the day, and be able to transition into a relaxing area for unwinding at night.

What inspires her:
I am an Instagram content creator that focuses on academic and cozy desk life while being in the last year of my undergraduate degree and also preparing to enter law school. Inspiration comes to me at random. It may be in the form of having the support of those who are around me or just simply going through good books and challenging tasks.
