Kerry is the owner of Happy on the Inside Design, a Wellbeing Interior Design business. The business was born when Kerry saw a gap in the market for this type of support in Northern Ireland. Kerry, who was a Primary Teacher for 25 years with the last 10 of those years specialising in supporting children with Special Needs, also qualified in 3D Spatial Design and Interior Design. In more recent years, due to her own difficulties with work related mental health issues, she started to investigate how our homes and their interiors can support our mental health. This was when she discovered Biophilic Design! Kerry has gone on to study Biophilic Design with Oliver Heath, a renowned world expert in this field. Additionally, she delved into colour psychology, studying under Karen Heller, a prominent international authority in applied colour psychology.

Kerry, who is the Northern Ireland expert in Biophilic Design wants to spread the word to as many people in Northern Ireland as possible and educate them on the the benefits that this human-centric approach to Interior Design can have on their lives and on the planet.

Happy on the Inside Design offers many types of support. From their signature 8 week online course, teaching people how to design and create their own home, to consultations. In April they are launching their new 4 week course on Biophilic Design and how to implement this in your home.

Happy on the Inside Design are currently working with ‘Intent Gym’ in Ballyhackamore, the first gym in Northern Ireland to embrace the health and wellbeing benefits of Biophilic Design. They also support businesses in creating or improving existing workspaces to support their employees mental wellbeing to enable them to thrive, rather than just survive at work. They are also working with clients to create homes that; reflect who they really are, a haven for them and their family, support their mental wellbeing and are more sustainable .
