'I create spaces that work for you - a harmonious environment that reflects your lifestyle.'
Good interior design makes your life easier and is suited to your specific needs. Everyone has different requirements for the spaces they live in. If you have a busy family life, good storage and easy clean finishes will be a priority. While others may prioritise an appealing space to entertain in. Whatever your needs I can help achieve a great outcome for making your life better organised and more beautiful. About Me
My background is in graphic design and advertising. For over a decade I worked at brand/design agency Yellow Pencil, with the majority of my time spent on south island furniture and home style retailer McKenzie & Willis. This interaction cemented my passion for home interiors and interior design. Being brand manager of this client involved designing campaigns, catalogues, all print material, directing, casting and assisting in styling photoshoots and Tv commercials. I interacted with international and local suppliers and fabric house James Dunlop became another of my clients. My love of stunning textiles flourished! As did my knowledge and appreciation of a diverse array of styles. Taking time off for family commitments has enabled me to turn a passion for interiors into a career, extending my qualifications to include a diploma of Interior Design. Interior spaces that function well and reflect the owners personality and style is my goal for every project, large or small. Building a new home or renovating can be exciting but also stressful with the many decisions you are required to make. Often the fittings and details we think of choosing last, need to be chosen first (as in plumbing fixtures). I can assist you in all your decision making, saving you time, money, and avoiding costly mistakes. Let me help you create your dream home. Working together we can create a space you can be proud of and enjoy! Services
