Interior and outdoor design for homes meant to be lived in.

I design the whole home for busy people who want a professional to take the lead. Layout first, then finishes, then the right supplier for each item.

What I do

Layout first, then everything that goes in it.

I design homes inside and out. I start with how you live, plan a layout that suits it, then choose the finishes so the kitchen, bathrooms, joinery, lighting and outdoor areas agree with each other.

I work with a wide range of suppliers, and I know where each one is strong and where it falls short. For every item I explain the options and the reasons, then guide you to the right place for it.

Who I work with

Busy people who want a professional to take the lead.

You are renovating, building or finishing a home. You care about quality and how the house works day to day, and you would rather rely on a designer than spend your weekends in showrooms.

I am not tied to any supplier or builder. My advice is based on what you need and want, and shaped to your budget. I design for purpose, and for what the investment is meant to achieve.

How it works

From consult to finished home

Design consult, $395

I come to your home for about 90 minutes. We walk through the space, talk about what you want and your budget, and you leave with first ideas and advice you can use straight away. It is also how I learn enough about your home to price the design properly: if you want to go further, I send a fee proposal within 24 hours, with a fixed fee for each phase below. No obligation. Some people find the consult is all they need.

Concept

I present the layout and the direction for materials and finishes at your home. We refine it together until you sign it off.

Documentation

Final drawings, the selections schedule and real samples. Your builder and suppliers can price and build from them.

Construction support (optional)

I answer your builder's and suppliers' questions and visit site at key stages, so what gets built matches the design.

Furnishing and styling (optional)

Furniture, lighting and soft furnishings chosen and placed.

You only commit to one phase at a time. Each phase starts with a signed agreement and a 50% deposit, and moves on only with your sign-off.

What to do next

Book your consult

The consult is the first step for every project, whatever its size. It is about 90 minutes in person, where I review your space, talk through scope and first ideas, and give you advice you can use straight away. You can book and pay online now. Not ready to book, or not sure the consult is right for you? Send an enquiry below and I will get back to you personally.

The design consult

$395 including GST

What the $395 covers: one visit of about 90 minutes at your home, advice and first ideas you can use straight away, and, if you want to go further, a fee proposal within 24 hours.

Design work, drawings and selections are not part of the consult. They are quoted in the proposal, as a fixed fee per phase. Some people find the consult is all they need.

Online booking covers the Central Coast, Lake Macquarie and Newcastle, and Sydney north of the harbour and the Parramatta River, plus the CBD. Further afield, send an enquiry and I will tell you honestly whether I can help.
