Shortlisted Again… and Still Completely Shocked

I’m still pinching myself as I write this.

I’m absolutely thrilled to share that I’ve been shortlisted for Responsible Luxury Travel Designer of the Year at the TTG Luxury Travel Awards 2026, representing The Holiday Village.

To be recognised in a category that celebrates responsible, thoughtful and sustainable luxury travel means more to me than I can easily put into words. This shortlisting feels incredibly special, not just as a professional milestone, but as a reflection of the values that sit at the heart of everything I do.

Why This One Means So Much

Responsible luxury travel isn’t a trend for me, it’s a commitment. It’s about designing exceptional experiences that respect destinations, support local communities, and tread more lightly on the planet, without compromising on beauty, comfort or meaning.

To have that approach recognised by the industry is both humbling and hugely encouraging.

About the Awards

The TTG Luxury Travel Awards, in association with Silversea, are among the most respected accolades in the luxury travel industry. They celebrate excellence, innovation and leadership across both agents and suppliers and this year marks an exciting evolution with all agent categories now recognised as individual awards.

Being shortlisted alongside so many inspiring travel designers is an honour in itself.

The Big Day: 6 March

I’ll be attending the awards ceremony on Friday 6 March, hosted at the stunning The Chancery Rosewood, London’s newest luxury hotel. The winners will be revealed at this prestigious lunchtime event, and while I’m trying not to think too far ahead… just being in the room feels like a win.

Thank You

I couldn’t reach moments like this without the trust of my incredible clients, the support of inspiring global partners, and the freedom to design travel with integrity and purpose.

Thank you to everyone who believes that luxury travel can, and should, be more responsible, more meaningful, and more human.

Whatever happens on the day, I’m deeply grateful, incredibly proud, and still more than a little bit stunned that little old me has been recognised in this way.
