Helen Griffen

I am an Interior Designer & Design Manager who specializes in creating beautiful spaces and managing all moving parts in delivering them.

Formative years: Daughter of a property developer and interior designer, the die was cast early for a career combining spatial design, construction and problem-solving.

Last 10 years.. have been spent building an impressive portfolio of beautiful projects in the high-end commercial, residential, retail and hospitality space.

Where life has taken me..... Working in Auckland, London, New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Sydney and Melbourne.

My point of difference…with a background in Civil Engineering and Construction Management the transition to design has been less than conventional but has given me an enviable multitasking skill set that allows for a broad brief, budget,  design interpretation and practical construction decisions to be made in harmony.

What I love: The marriage between designer, builder and client.

Life's biggest lesson (so far): Listening.

Dream's to fulfill:  Aging gracefully & channelling the inspiration of New York City culture and pace into my work.

Where next: If you can dream it, you can do it.
