From the shiny potential within each new venue design, to the simple pleasure of a smiling guest, Becci is passionate about Hospitality. With her dream venture fusing chocolate and dogs not yet resolved, Becci relies on her self-proclaimed skill as a ‘human barometer’ in her design approach. A particular curiosity for the un-tangible workings of hospitality spaces & the interactions that fill them. From this, a balance of comfort vs friction drive Becci to consider a hospitality venue from multiple perspectives – what can we push to enhance and delight? For the fresh expectant eyes of a new guest to the hardworking team that delivers the critical service dimension, a constant mystery to be thoughtfully solved, best done over some dark chocolate and puppy pats.
