REBECCA
HARKNESS
Founder of Design Relations
Rebecca is a creative and passionate business management professional with 19 years’ international experience in the interior design industry.
Through her expertise in sales, she has the skills and knowledge required to drive brand engagement and awareness, and create positive brand perceptions.
Prior to establishing Design Relations, she spent four years managing the sales team at London Design Fair, identifying and supporting designers helping them to showcase their products successfully during the London Design Festival.
During her career, Rebecca has developed a solid network of contacts within the design industry and has worked with leading brands and design industry members.
In 2018, Rebecca also became Commercial Director of Design Anthology UK, a premium tri-annual magazine, that spotlights the best of design, art, architecture, style, and travel across Europe. Building key contacts with media and agencies has given her an in-depth understanding of how best brands and publications can work together both in print and online.
“I feel without their guidance, we would not have got as much out on the trade show and would have missed several massive opportunities."
Client, Tom Raffield Testimonial
"We started working with Design Relations six months prior to officially launching our product into the UK. Rebecca did amazing work building our brand awareness in the market with her networks and knowledge of the industry. Her attention to detail, communication and planning was always second to none - as well as never being afraid to go above and beyond for us and our brand. We have no hesitation in recommending Design Relations."
