Hi, I'm Louise.
Connecting people, places and ideas.
For over a decade I've worked with brands, landlords, shopping centres, venues and independent businesses to bring ideas to life, from pop-ups and activations to placemaking projects, commercial partnerships and temporary retail.
The best projects aren't just about finding an empty unit or organising an event. They're about connecting the right people, places and ideas to create something people genuinely want to visit, experience and be part of.
That's why I started Lo Kehoe Studio, combining commercial experience with practical delivery to help businesses turn ideas into real-world projects.
Whether you're launching something new, testing an idea or looking at a space with untapped potential, I'd love to hear what you're working on and see how we can bring it to life together.
The Person Behind Lo Kehoe Studio
Behind every business is a person. Here's a little about the one behind Lo Kehoe Studio.
🍀 I'm proudly Irish, now happily based in Reading and lucky enough to work with brilliant people across the UK.
🌈 Between the colourful outfits and ever-changing hair, I'm usually fairly easy to spot. I love expressing myself through colour, vintage finds, second-hand treasures, handmade pieces, sustainable brands and clothes I've customised myself.
🗺️ I'm happiest exploring somewhere new. Whether it's a city, a village market or a high street I've never visited before, I'm always looking for the independent places and hidden gems that give it personality.
🎪 Festivals, drag shows, theatre, exhibitions and community events are my favourite way to spend a weekend. I love seeing creative ideas come to life and celebrating the people behind them.
🐄 I grew up on a farm, so rolling my sleeves up and getting stuck in has always come naturally.
🐶 Home is shared with Dolly and Frankie (two daft dachshunds) and Endeavour the cat, who mostly tolerates the chaos.
💜 I love people with big ideas. Whether it's an artist, market trader, business owner or someone with a sketch on the back of a napkin, I'm always interested in hearing what they're working on.
Why I Do What I Do
Over the years I kept noticing the same pattern.
Brilliant independent businesses had exciting ideas but didn't always know where to begin. At the same time, landlords, shopping centres and destinations were looking for fresh brands, experiences and partnerships but didn't always have the time, network or resource to discover them.
I found myself having the same conversations again and again, making introductions, sharing ideas and helping projects move forward long before it was officially part of my job. I realised the part I enjoyed most wasn't simply finding a space or organising a project. It was bringing the right people together and helping ideas become reality.
That's why I started Lo Kehoe Studio.
Today I work with brands, landlords, venues and independent businesses to connect people, places and ideas in a practical, collaborative way, helping turn good ideas into successful real-world projects that people genuinely want to visit, experience and be part of.
Let's Create Something Brilliant
Whether you're looking for the right space, planning a pop-up, testing a new idea or simply don't know where to start, I'd love to hear what you're working on.
Some people come to me with a detailed brief. Others arrive with a rough idea, a notebook full of sketches or simply a feeling that something could work. Either way, we'll figure it out together.
I don't believe in overcomplicating things. I believe in practical advice, honest conversations and rolling up my sleeves to help turn ideas into something real.
If that sounds like your kind of approach, let's have a chat.
