Charlotte Gallen
Charlotte is passionate about design that curates, supports, and enhances the human experience to create places that people want to live and work in. She is driven by strong, simple, well executed design that employs visual sensitivity and considered use of materiality that is symbiotic with buildings' use and architecture.
At Howells, Charlotte leads the Interior Design Studio, working to ensure design quality and seamless integration with architectural ideas. Charlotte is responsible for overseeing resourcing, information production and delivery of interior projects for our clients that span a variety of sectors, scales and design stages – from early concept through to completion. Each project is approached from first principles – to understand the context, emerging architecture, client values and aspirations – to inform and enhance the internal geometry, materiality and human experience.
Charlotte also has experience of refurbishing and reimagining existing, historic buildings. Embracing the history and existing fabric of a building and exploring how that can offer rich inspiration for new, meaningful interventions that breathe life and purpose in to forgotten spaces and places.
Outside of Howells, Charlotte is a judge for the SBID International Design Awards 2023.
