Geila Daughtrey

Founder & Creative Director.

I’ve always believed that great design tells a story. For me, it’s never just about creating a beautiful space - It’s about capturing the spirit of a place and shaping it into an atmosphere people can truly connect with.

With over twenty-five years of experience in commercial interior design, my career has taken me across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. In 2014, I founded Rockett Studio in Singapore with the vision of creating interiors that feel timeless, cinematic, and deeply rooted in their context. Not long after, I was honoured to be recognised by Hong Kong’s Perspective magazine for “design excellence and outstanding contribution to the industry.” In 2022, Rockett Studio expanded to the UK with a second studio to better serve our Europe-based clients.

My design process is led by empathy and meticulous research - I immerse myself in a project’s architecture, heritage, and culture, then bring it to life through layers of detail that make a space feel truly alive. Sustainability is also at the heart of what I do; I believe the most powerful designs are those that respect nature and stand the test of time.

Along the way, we’ve collaborated with some incredible brands and visionaries, from InterContinental Hotels and Accor to BMW, Rolls Royce, Gordon Ramsay, PizzaExpress, Burger & Lobster, Quintessentially, and most recently, the global private members’ club 67 Pall Mall.

Today, as Founder and Creative Director of Rockett Studio, I continue to push for designs that don’t just look good on opening night - but that resonate, endure, and feel effortless for years to come.

“We’re proud that every one of our clients has chosen to work with us more than once. I believe that comes down to the way we work as a small, dedicated team — every project is personally overseen at the Director level, so our clients know from the start exactly who they’ll be working with and the level of quality they can expect.”
