Interior design duo Bibby + Brady have already made a name for themselves with their inspirational approach to decor
Hawke’s Bay-based interior designers Vic Bibby and Dael Brady of Bibby + Brady have gone from careers in graphic design and event management to running a successful interior design firm that transforms homes and businesses into beautiful spaces for a range of clients. We asked Vic about the story behind their brand.
How did you two meet and why did you decide to go into business together?
We met in 2010 when our daughters started primary school together. A couple of years later, when Dael had just finished studying interior decorating, she invited me out for coffee and suggested we start a business together.
When did you start the business?
It was late 2012 when we caught up for that eventful coffee and started planning the business. In January 2013 we got our first client, a family home in Tamahere. This is still a favourite project of ours. We worked with the client room by room throughout most of their house, and have recently started working with them again as they complete a major extension to the house.
What were you doing before you started the business?
I had a diploma in visual communication design and had worked for over 10 years as a graphic designer in advertising. After the purchase of our second home I became quite passionate about interior design and began an interiors blog, Cush & Nooks, purely as a creative outlet. I spent my evenings and weekends writing the blog and, although it wasn’t my initial intention, steady requests for me to promote and advertise other businesses meant I was able to turn the blog into a business.
And what about Dael?
