About your Host

Hi, I'm Anna owner of The Black House and owner and founder of brands ALSO Home and Elä Life. I've spent my career designing and creating homewares for many high street retailers and brands and the last 16 years designing for my own brand ALSO Home. I have a wealth of experience, designing, sourcing and developing products and brands. This experience helped when we renovated our 1960's bungalow on a hill in Surrey. I've always been inspired by Scandinavian and Japanese design and used this love of these two cultures to inspire our Scandi Black House. Married to Jeff @jeffschmidt.art another talented creative, he is slowly filling our home with his art!
