About us
I GET IT A refresh, renovation or building a new home can be stressful; lots of decisions need to be made and you are unsure of how it will all work and feel once completed.
I help with anything interior from the choice of power points to creating a comprehensive set of plans for your kitchen design and have access to a wide network of suppliers and conscientious trades people.
FRESH EYES
Only you know what speaks to you and feels authentic. I will give you the confidence to express yourself through the work we do together.
I am passionate about how spaces can make you feel and elevate your life. I love creating homes that enhance and inspire daily living.
LET’S GET STARTED
Do you really need an interior designer? How does it work? What will it cost? So many questions! Give me a call or come and see me in my studio.
I have a detailed process that starts with a consultation and depends on your project. I can help from a new sofa, curtains, getting ready for a full house renovation or building a new home. I have a love for materials, art and bespoke joinery. I work mainly throughout Wellington but am always open to hearing about your project elsewhere in New Zealand.
A Bit About Me
Maybe it was holidays to Tunisia as a teenager with my Mum, wandering the bustling markets full of fabrics, spices and colour. Or later, visiting Turkey buying ceramics and rugs that would fill my small attic apartment in Utrecht, The Netherlands.
I had no idea when I arrived in New Zealand in 1998 to be with my kiwi partner that I’d become an interior designer, but looking back now, it’s clear growing up in Europe and travelling with my family created a love of colours and design that sits deep within me still.
I’ve learnt that being an interior designer isn’t about bringing my own aesthetic to my work. I’m not telling my own story through my clients’ spaces, nor do I want people to look at the spaces I’ve created with my clients and necessarily recognise them as mine.
My job is to help my clients tell their own stories through the spaces we create together. I’ve also learnt to recognise the power of small decisions that transform a room from “nice couch” to “I don’t know what you’ve done in here but if feels amazing!”.
I’ve helped lots of clients make these decisions and change the way they feel and experience their homes and would love to work with you too!
Look forward to hearing from you.
