Welcome to the July/August issue of FX, where we proudly shine a spotlight on the remarkable contributions of women in the design industry. Tis edition is a celebration of creativity, innovation, and leadership, featuring an inspiring


profile of Rachel Basha, co-founder of Basha Franklin, whose motivation for starting her own business is rooted in a desire for better outcomes. We are also thrilled to include a thought-provoking


feature by Veronica Simpson that highlights women in design leadership roles, showcasing their unique perspectives and the impact they have on shaping our built environment. Additionally, Veronica explores a new generation of space-enhancing, inclusive interventions that prioritise accessibility and community engagement, reminding us that design is not just about aesthetics but about creating spaces for everyone. While we celebrate the achievements of women, we also recognise the invaluable contributions made by everyone supporting and championing inclusivity in design; together, we can foster a collaborative landscape that reflects the richness of our society.


I am also excited to introduce our newly revamped website – fxdesign.co.uk – designed to enhance your reading experience and provide easier access to FX content. Don’t miss our regular features in this issue too, including industry news, project spotlights, Bar & Leisure Focus, and expert insights, all curated to keep you informed and inspired. Join us as we celebrate these trailblazers and explore the future of design through their eyes. Welcome to FX; you are all very welcome!


Warm regards, Emily Martin, editor
