Geri O'Toole

Hi, I’m Geri O'Toole, and I’ve been working in the world of interior design for over 15 years. I run Geri Designs - an award-winning interior design studio in Limerick, Ireland.

Coming from a creative family, I’ve always had a passion for interiors. My parents ran a specialist antiques and reproduction furniture business, which sparked my love for beautiful spaces. I later studied interior architecture and design at Griffith College in Dublin, then spent a few years in London honing my skills and working with some of my favourite brands.

After many years of working as an interior designer, I have now decided to share my knowledge and experience. That’s why I created the Interior Design Academy. The goal here is to pass on what I’ve learned during my 15 years as an interior designer and teach you the basics of interior design in a practical way, so you can start designing your own projects.
