“Accessibility is too often treated as an optional add-on rather than an integral part of good design.”⁠
⁠
That’s the starting point for Sophia Gravina, whose work sits at the intersection of inclusive design, research and digital tools.⁠
⁠
After working in aged healthcare in New Zealand, Sophia saw first-hand how design can either support or undermine dignity. It’s what led her to found Spira Design and most recently launch a new Visual Contrast tool that helps designers assess schemes against UK regulations in real time.⁠
⁠
As she puts it:⁠
⁠
“If a user has to ask for directions because signage is unclear, or if they struggle to stand up because a chair is unsuitable, they lose a bit of independence. My role is to use thoughtful design to give that dignity back.”⁠
⁠
It’s a reminder that inclusive design isn’t niche, it’s fundamental.⁠

From home start-up to global delivery.⁠
⁠
In our latest Q&A, we spoke with Warren Offer, founder of Aquarius Interiors, about a record-breaking year and the strategy behind it.⁠
⁠
2025 marked a major milestone for the business, with rapid growth in its commercial division, expansion into international markets, and projects delivered across more than 30 cruise vessels worldwide.⁠
⁠
But what’s driving that momentum?⁠
⁠
It comes down to a clear model, investment in in-house manufacturing, a vertically integrated approach, and the ability to deliver complex projects globally, without losing the agility of a family-run business.⁠
⁠
As Warren puts it:⁠
“This has been a landmark year for the business… we are now set up to deliver even larger projects globally.”⁠
⁠
From marine interiors to UK hospitality, Aquarius Interiors is scaling with purpose, and building a model that’s ready for what comes next.⁠
