Director

As a designer and leader Sonja's passion and enthusiasm is very evident. Her combination of creativity and logical thinking benefits successful problem solving and finding solutions . She is able to assess the bigger picture and has a knack for understanding the detail with her creative thinking, whilst having fun along the way. She believes that good design stems from parameters and collaboration with likeminded people and a trust that clients have for her and her team to push the boundaries.

Sonja loves working at Hosking Design because the culture encourages "you to be who you are and pushes you to reach your full potential daily". She values the supportive, challenging and fun environment that exists in the office- and loves being able to bring her furry friend to the office too!
