Since having her children Sara has slowed down a little and is now in the process of working on all of CVD’s marketing and social media development.  Sara has a passion for design and still loves seeing every project that we create.

The way you like to live, the things you enjoy, your stories and ambitions. These are our inspiration.

Your home is the canvas for your dreams; the stage for life.  It should reflect who you are, how you like to spend your time and the things that bring you pleasure.  This simple but powerful understanding sits at the foundation of our approach to interior and spatial design.  Our aim is to use sustainable and renewable products wherever possible in our designs.

During the 25 year journey of Celia Visser Design, we’ve learned that asking the right questions leads to the right outcome. And every outcome is one-of-a-kind, because it’s built on the needs and desires of the individuality of our clients.

We don’t impose our style on you; we develop a look and feel that is all yours.

Interior design is a discipline that requires constant research, analysis, exploration, experimentation and an immense knowledge of materials, products and trades.  We have to think in three dimensions, and overlay a fourth dimension that is your hopes and objectives.  Achieving a result that lights up your eyes, confirms your identity and finds a place in your heart is our singular mission.

“When I’m solving a challenge or refining a design, the creative process continues until I absolutely know the result is right.”  Celia Visser
