After many years working in a completely different career, I decided to follow my heart and passion for interior design. For the past 13 years, interior design was my hobby where I would redesign a kitchen, design bespoke pieces of furniture to fit into a certain space, or give an entire home a new design scheme. I have renovated my own home abroad which I also project managed.

It was only after our family immigrated to New Zealand in 2008 that I felt I wanted to follow my dream and concentrate on interior design as a career, which led me to complete an Interior Design Diploma in 2013 with The Interior Design Academy.

I believe elegance can coexist with a cat on the furniture and babies crawling on the floor. That means luxurious yet durable, with easy maintenance surfaces and equally long lasting style.

I pride myself on being style savvy with an extensive knowledge of the market and of current design trends and new products. My clients always benefit from my great eye for detail and my exemplary organisational skills.
