IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO CREATE THE HOME YOU'VE ALWAYS WANTED.

“Thanks for the support in making our new home absolutely stunning. We love it. Thanks for keeping us calm under pressure, bearing with us whilst we changed our minds 100x, pushing through challenges and for your sense of humour. It’s been great.”

Max & Julia

YOU WANT A BEAUTIFUL HOME.
AN EXTRAORDINARY HOME.

A PLACE TO THRIVE
NOT JUST SURVIVE.


YOU’RE EXCITED TO TAKE ON THE CHALLENGE BUT FIND YOURSELF QUESTIONING IF YOU REALLY NEED TO COMMIT TO A FULL-TIME PROFESSIONAL TEAM.

WE’VE ALL HEARD THE STORIES—ON TV, FROM FRIENDS, OR EVEN FAMILY. STRESSFUL RENOVATIONS THAT GO OVER BUDGET, DRAG OUT FOR MONTHS, FORCE COMPROMISES, OR RESULT IN SPACES THAT DON’T FEEL QUITE RIGHT.

IT’S ENOUGH TO LEAVE YOU FEELING ANXIOUS, OVERWHELMED, AND UNSURE WHERE TO START OR HOW TO GET IT RIGHT.

IT’S TIME FOR THAT TO CHANGE.

SO WHAT CAN YOU DO DIFFERENTLY?

PROUDLY FEATURED IN…

WHAT DO YOU NEED?

CREATIVE VISION & INSPIRATION?

I challenge you to think bigger and better, to imagine all of the possibilities, to think holistically, and to not settle for less.

I show you how to go from Pinterest to completed Project, achieve consistent design, be confident during construction and all the steps in between.

CLARITY?

I help you understand what you want from your home – to thrive and not just survive.

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDANCE?

I guide you through it all, from exciting start to exhilarating finish. Through self-paced courses, flexible consultancy, inspirational retreats or workshops - you decide how you want to work with me.

CONTROL?

I provide you with the tools to easily manage your budget, your time and your decisions. No more chasing your tail from day one.

EXPERTISE?

I give you the benefit of over two decades of architecture and interior design experience on everything from budgets to briefs, layouts to lighting, plumbing to paint colours, technical issues to window treatments, and much more.

MOMENTUM?

I help you create the momentum and efficiency you need to save time and money, avoid costly mistakes, and stay calm. The short time you invest now will pay off tenfold, turning an overwhelming process into an exciting journey.

ADVICE ON THE RIGHT SUPPLIERS?

I help you choose appropriate suppliers according to your budget, your schedule, and your aesthetics. No more compromises and no more that’ll have to do.

EMPOWERMENT, ENCOURAGEMENT & PEACE OF MIND

I arm you with what you need to stand strong and confident in your decisions. You can do this as long as you know the process.
