About Liz Druhan
Design Grounded in Clarity and Balance
One of the things I have learned over the years is that homes rarely need as much as we think they do. More often, they need a clearer sense of direction.
People often come to me thinking they need help choosing colours or furniture. While they are important, they are rarely where a project begins. The first step is understanding the home itself — what is working, what feels unresolved, and the greatest opportunities.
A Different Perspective
I grew up in California before settling in Ireland more than twenty years ago. My appreciation for quality, craftsmanship and timeless design began early, with my parents’ influence, along with the belief that the most successful homes evolve through thoughtful decisions made over time.
Before establishing South Hill Studio, I spent over two decades leading global client relationships and projects in Finance. In addition, being PRINCE2 qualified has helped shape how I organise and approach projects. It may seem an unusual route, but it echoes what I enjoy— navigating complex projects and priorities while helping people make significant decisions with confidence.
I qualified as an interior designer in 2007 and later founded South Hill Studio to create thoughtful, enduring homes that feel connected to their architecture, setting and the people who live in them.
Our Approach
I don't believe in imposing a signature style but you will see a respect for heritage and craft throughout my designs. My role is to understand the whole picture, establish a clear direction and create homes that feel considered, comfortable and entirely at ease with themselves.
The home is yours, and investment in good design should provide comfort for years to come.
South Hill Studio provides interior design services across Kilkenny, Carlow, Waterford, Wexford, Laois, Kildare, and the wider South East.
