Our Team.

MELANIE TOMLINSON

Director | Lead Designer

Melanie started her design career in 1997, focusing her studies on architectural drafting and technology before refining her academia with interior design at the International School of Colour and Design in Sydney.

Melanie spent her early working career in the USA and Australia. She set up Design Bubble, an Interior Design Studio which she ran successfully for 8 years before moving to the UK with her young family in 2017. On deciding to stay in the UK, Melanie Tomlinson Design launched later that year.

When not designing, Melanie is a lover of spending time outdoors and being a mum to her two sporty boys!

CARINA LENEY

Marketing & Project Management

With a background of over 20 years in corporate and agency marketing, alongside a healthy obsession of interior design, since joining in 2021, Carina has brought a wealth of marketing knowledge and project management skills!

An avid multitasker, no one day in the studio can be the same for Carina, skilfully juggling sourcing and procuring for clients, to managing the Melanie Tomlinson Design social media accounts, business and project management to strategic marketing & planning.

Downtime is spent reading Interior Design coffee table books, socialising and long walks (with two reluctant children in tow!)

AMY BYRNE

Interior Designer

Qualified in Interior Architecture & Design and with a background in residential design, Amy has been the perfect fit for our ever growing Design Studio, bringing with her a fresh, creative approach and knowledge of staging, styling and procurement.

Heading straight into managing some of our new client projects as well as remote projects we have in Australia, Amy quickly settled in as part of the MTD family with clients, suppliers and contractors alike.

Outside of the Studio, Amy can mainly be found on long country walks – her favourite being those that take in a good local pub along the way serving amazing homecooked meals!
