Introducing Our New Contributor: Barney Sheppard

Barney Sheppard

I am so thrilled to be able to share this news with you all! As many of you will know I have been the sole editor and writer of The Design Sheppard since I started the blog way back in 2009. The blog has been a way for me to share all my inspirational and innovative design finds with you guys and I absolutely adore writing it.

You may have noticed recently however, that I had a period where I had not been posting quite so often and I do apologise for that. There is a good reason for it though, I assure you. I have some pretty huge projects going on in my personal life at the moment, which I will tell you about in due course, and that has meant that I have been unable to dedicate quite as much time as I used to to my blog.

So rather than let you all down with my infrequent and somewhat sporadic posting I thought I should take corrective action to remedy the matter. I am so excited to tell you all that there is a new contributor here at The Design Sheppard! I never thought I would see the day when I would be able to let go of the iron-fisted grip I have always held over the blog and share the editorial responsibility with anyone else, however, I now truly believe that I have found someone who I trust with my beloved passion but who I am also completely convinced will not only maintain my high standards but will better them.

So who is this mysterious contributor I hear you ask. Do we know them? Well, no, you don’t! He’s not part of the interior design blogging community just yet, but he is a blogger and writer in his own right. In fact I have admired his writing skill (and I hate to admit that I have even been jealous of it) for many, many years now. Writing is a vocation for this guy and I am hoping to be able to learn from him too whilst we work together on the blog. So without further ado I would like to introduce you to…my younger brother…Barney Sheppard! How exciting that there are now two Design Sheppards here on the blog!

You may not have noticed but he has already contributed a few posts to the blog and there are many more where they came from, so do keep an eye out for more and I hope you will enjoy reading his posts as much as I do! I am so happy to have Barney on board I can’t tell you!

You can also find Barney on Twitter here @insightoutblog and you can check out his recently-launched personal blog (which has nothing whatsoever to do with interiors or design) here.ย
