Marketing manager, Rachael McInnes, explains how Ripples worked with an influencer to create three new bathrooms that would impress her guests
he client was buzzing with ideas when she first came into Ripples. She set to work alongside Jo Sangster, one of our senior designers, to bring her vision to life.
