Work Can Improve Our World

Recorded on 25/02/2025

Kim Heslip is the founder of Nest and Flourish Interiors, a Yorkshire-based interior design studio dedicated to creating inclusive, accessible spaces that enhance wellbeing, dignity, and independence. Following a 20-year career in nursing, including 15 years as a community nurse, Kim witnessed first-hand how thoughtfully the designed environment can transform health and quality of life. Inspired by this impact, she retrained in interior design at the National Design Academy and now specialises in creating beautiful, supportive spaces for family homes, workplaces, and community settings.

Kim’s unique healthcare background shapes her approach to design, ensuring each project supports the specific needs of individuals of all ages and abilities. She believes that inclusive and accessible design goes beyond just meeting mobility needs—it’s about creating spaces that are intuitive, adaptable, and empowering. Whether it’s designing homes that evolve with life’s changes, workplaces that accommodate diverse needs, or community spaces that welcome everyone, Kim ensures that her designs promote ease of use, comfort, and independence without compromising on style.
