Larissa Ford also operates her own
interior design company, Soda
Interiors, which she backs up with
a blog on

She utilises her colour consul-
tancy skills and her Bachelor of
Media Arts as well as a qualifica-
tion in interior design.
“I did my own marketing and
took it out to companies. I already
have testimonials from my previ-
ous work – it was just a matter
of getting myself out there and
promoting the skills I have. I’ve
been involved in several projects
this year, being both new houses
and renovations, as well as a com-
mercial project.”
Larissa’s services include, but
are not limited to, colour specifi-
cation for interior/exterior colour
schemes, kitchen and bathroom
designs, sourcing soft furnishings,
lighting and spatial planning.
“I can provide guidance, or a
second opinion. Over the years I
had often done it for nothing, for
the love of it, and it’s simply a mat-
ter of perseverance to get yourself
out there.”
