With a background in Client Liaison / Sales / Project Management roles, I had a career change in the early 2000's and joined a Hawthorn based architecture / design practice.
My role was to liaise with the Client to select, schedule and specify the interior fittings and finishes and then manage the logistics (and the Client's expectations) through the build phase; in short, assist the Client to make and document the hundreds of decisions required and generally take the stress out of what many would consider a daunting process.
I have since completed an Interior Decoration & Design qualification at RMIT and established my own consulting practice and, in 2016, I was fortunate to spend 6 weeks at the New York School of Interior Design undertaking further studies, specialising in Collecting Design Styles.
In recent years I have provided interior design, decoration and project management services for projects spanning new and renovated family homes and high-end apartments in the Bayside area, Toorak and Malvern East and throughout the Eastern suburbs, as well as, country retreats on the Mornington Peninsula.
I look to bridge the gap between what the architect/builder provide and the end product, bringing together design, decoration and project management skills.
I understand the broader picture of design and construction but know that it is care and attention to detail and constant communication that delivers the best outcome for the Client.
My focus is in the residential space; medium to large-scale refurbishments, major renovations or new builds. The interiors I create with my Clients have
a contemporary but classic look. Whilst not governed by the latest trends, my interiors are a fresh take on timeless style.
You are undertaking a major renovation, refurbishment or new build and are excited but daunted at the prospect.
You require the assistance of someone with a wealth of practical experience in design and knowledge of finishes, fittings and furnishings and their price points.
Typically you are:
· A young family building a new home or renovating a period home
· A couple who are downsizing to a townhouse or apartment which is a new build or requires a major refurbishment
· A family building or refurbishing a country retreat
· A young couple embarking on an inner city warehouse renovation or apartment refurbishment.
· Space planning and determining new layouts
· Custom design of kitchens, bathrooms, laundries and all built in joinery
· Selection of all finishes, fittings and lighting
· Preparation of construction ready drawings and documents (including schedules and specifications) for separate trades or building tender
· Bespoke upholstered furniture
· Custom made window furnishings and bedheads
· Colour palette selection, paint and wallpaper
· Furniture selection
· Floor coverings - carpets and rugs
· Sourcing artwork and other decorative accessories
· Liaise with builder, architect and/or trades (as applicable) on design and decoration
· Oversee and administer all design elements during the build phase
· Work with the client through the complete fit out
