I work with clients during the planning stages of kitchen, bathroom and laundry renovations, helping with layouts, materials, joinery design, fixtures and finishes.

Depending on the scope of the project, I can provide design guidance throughout the renovation process and work alongside builders, trades and suppliers to help ensure the design vision is carried through.

Virtual consultations may also be available for selected projects.

An initial consultation is designed to provide clarity and expert guidance for your project.

We will discuss your goals, challenges, lifestyle requirements and design preferences, along with practical recommendations to help you move forward with confidence.

Every project is different, so costs vary depending on the size and scope of work required.

The earlier, the better.
