designer angela adams
I'm always impressed by Americans and what they can achieve. They have such a can-do attitude. And Angela Adams seems no exception. While she is definitely at one with nature - taking her inspiration from her native Maine - she has also created a design brand that creates not only pillows, glassware and rugs but furniture and fine art too.

What’s your proudest achievement? Building such a great team that is also like a family to us.
What’s been your best decision? Marrying Sherwood.
Who inspires you? Mother nature and my mother.
What are you passionate about? Nature, friends, family, animals, food.
What’s the best lesson you’ve learnt? Be kind and compassionate.
Which person, living or dead, would you most like to meet? Leonardo da Vinci.
What dream do you still want to fulfil? To have more time to just think, create and be outside.
