With a passion for Lighting and Architecture, Jo has been working on Interior Design projects for the last 13 years. After studying Interior Design at KLC School of design and returning from living in Germany for two years, Jo set up the company Isla James Interiors in 2015. Since then the IJI team has been growing rapidly. Their portfolio is national and ranges from large high end residential homes to commercial projects such as restaurants and hotels.

"Every project is different. We are an approachable and friendly team. Our focus is on understanding the project and getting the very best from the bones and fabric of the building. We strive to create a home or space that not only looks amazing but invites you in with soft lighting in just the right places while the design still remains practical for every day life."
IJI believe that designing the interiors and lighting together gives their projects a unique advantage. "The combination of designing lighting alongside Interiors is so powerful. We are always thinking about the design of the lighting and the architectural features of the building. When you design in combination you can choose wall applications and textures that can be cleverly lit to add a dimension to the overall design “
