Design Services
Every project begins differently: whether you’re renovating, building new, refreshing a tired kitchen, or simply needing help bringing ideas, colours, and textures together.
I offer design services tailored to every stage of your interior journey, providing as much or as little support as you need along the way.
All design fees are completely independent of product supply, giving you the freedom to choose your own suppliers and tradespeople with confidence. As an independent designer, I believe in transparent pricing, where the value of the design work is clear and never hidden within supplier quotes.
I produce every plan, drawing, and render using industry-leading software, with detailed documentation prepared to professional standards, ready to hand directly to your tradespeople for a seamless transition from concept to completion.
