Creative Director, Rachel founded her design practice in 2012 and is a multi award winning Interior Designer, recognised within her field and holds full SBID (Society of British and International Interior Design) accreditation. 

The success of the studio so far is undeniably related to Rachel's strong design perspective and creative direction, where her approach to design goes far deeper than aesthetics, unravelling the intangible emotional benefits of a space, and how a space should improve the way in which you live within it, is her primary pursuit.

Rachel and the wider studio team take the important time needed to truly understand all clients, their personalities and individual lifestyles, viewing this time as an integral element within the interior design journey. Getting to know clients is a key focus for the Usher & Co studio, we believe that the success of any interior design is how the space transforms the clients' relationship and interaction with their built environment, a profound understanding that the spaces we occupy have a direct impact upon our emotional wellbeing. 

Rachel has a strong affinity with Southern California and enjoys spending time in her second home there. Rachel has a design presence both in the UK and Los Angeles, allowing her to take on projects on both sides of the Atlantic.

On a personal level, Rachel is married, a mother of two and is fuelled by Yorkshire Tea. Rachel is often accompanied by Sox, a Cavapoo who also spends much of her time as an extended part of the studio team. 

As a team we’re devoted to our practice, Rachels approachable leadership style has successfully led to a collaborative approach to all of the studios work, ensuring that each design is enhanced at all stages of the process.

Our diverse collective experience, passion and aptitude for design has allowed us to create schemes which genuinely acknowledge and embrace the delicate balance needed between timeless luxury and intelligent design. 

Our team members have attained experience working for some of the most illustrious design-houses within the UK and as a result, we’re a well-informed studio practice encompassing a wealth of skills and knowledge within the interior design sector.

Rachel is also the founder of The Business of Interiors and hosts a podcast ‘If These Walls Could Talk’ that is designed for the design professional, lifting the lid on what it means to be in The Business of Interiors.
