A new voice in European design has arrived. Shepherd&, an atelier-style design studio, officially launches this summer with studios in London's Soho and Paris' 16th Arrondissement. The studio is led by four creatives with prestigious backgrounds in global design, united by a shared vision: to craft spaces that are deeply personal, emotionally resonant, and grounded in lived experience.

Founded by Timothy Shepherd, Sara Rosellini, Marko Gligorov, and Freda Shepherd, the practice intentionally rejects traditional sector silos. Instead, Shepherd& is defined by an approach that places creativity, collaboration, and storytelling at the core of every project.
'We are catalysts of transformation,' says Founder and Managing Director Timothy Shepherd. 'Crafting highly tailored, immersive environments that embody unique stories, values, and aspirations. We are translators of experience, fusing interior design, architecture, art, and narrative into meaningful work that reflects our clients' aspirations, and our hard-won experience.'
With a growing team and a portfolio spanning luxury hospitality, residential, retail and commercial projects, Shepherd& operates as a true atelier. Their process is rooted in partnerships, reflected in the "&" of their name, which stands not only for the founders, but also for the collaborations that define their work.
Shepherd's own design philosophy draws on over 30 years of international leadership and a personal history across London, Paris, and Hong Kong. 'A great collaborator, who knows you need many to make great, the & is born from this,' the launch statement notes.
Rosellini, raised in Tuscany, brings a distinct voice in storytelling and emotive space-making. 'Her work across Europe is always personal, with clients of large well known companies always feeling she is talking directly to them.'
Gligorov, an architectural talent with a flair for luxury, approaches every brief with detail-driven precision and global vision. 'He defines himself daily by what he produces from his work.'
Freda Shepherd, whose background in international fashion and procurement brings business rigour to creative ambition, leads on sourcing and product delivery. 'Her extensive travel… gives her a broad and open view on society, and a readiness to support the whole process of design and delivery.'
Longstanding partnerships are already in motion, including projects for Arch Hotels and ongoing collaboration with Bush Architects in Paris, where Timothy Shepherd also serves as Managing Director. These relationships mark Shepherd& as a creative hub for boundary-pushing design across Europe and beyond.
