Clodagh.

Since leaving high school at seventeen, dropping her last name and setting up her own company, Irish-born Clodagh has been a constant force in the design world. A global nomad, she has traveled to 90-plus countries during her professional career, designing everything from makeup packaging to million square foot hotels.

Clodagh’s professional trajectory has remained steadfast: to remain true to herself and to produce quality, inspirational and life-enhancing design. She passionately believes that good design can support well-being, and her pioneering use of Feng Shui, Chromotheraphy, Biophilia, and sustainable materials has enriched her projects with an unmistakable look, structure and flow that appeals to all the human senses. Widely recognized as a a leader in the green design movement, she aligns herself with companies and vendors who also embody this ethic, as well as fostering relationships with companies who strive to contribute philanthropically to their communities.

Her new book, "Your Home, Your Sanctuary" is all about discovering what pleases you and how to create an environment that will celebrate those qualities.  With the “four C’s” she introduced in her first book TOTAL DESIGN – contemplate, cleanse, clarify, create – Clodagh’s design objective is to contemplate space, cleanse it of the unnecessary, clarify the use to which it will be put, and thus create a space that is unique and timeless, whether it be a hotel, a spa, or a home. Tapping into the Feng Shui of each project, Clodagh favors environmentally friendly materials and art finishes, integrating with care the natural elements of earth, fire, water, wood, and metal into each. The resulting environments, geared towards feeding the spirit and soul, are truly timeless, luxurious, sensual and low maintenance. Her goal in this her second book, YOUR HOME YOUR SANCTUARY, published by Rizzoli New York, is to inspire the reader to create this kind of sanctuary in every room of the home.
