Who I am and why I'm an interior designer. DESIGNING THOUGHTFUL & FUNCTIONAL SPACES. A multidisciplinary interior designer with a wealth of product knowledge and creative flair. Qualifications & Memberships: Assoc. Degree Interior Design: Commercial Member Design Institute of Australia Member Next Collective (Art Gallery of WA) I find beauty in a thoughtfully composed space, whether it be inside or out, but discover the real success of a design is in the experience of it. In my work the user experience is the first aspect I consider and guides me through the entire design process. From residential renovations and home makeovers, to multi-million dollar disability services projects, my mission is always the same; to create a functional space that feels good to be in. I’ve been passionate about interior design since I was a little girl accompanying my architect father to projects. I would stand on a newly poured slab and envision my ideal layout and final finish. I have worked in a number of support roles in the building industry over the past 20 years and in 2019 completed an Associate Degree of Interior Design; Commercial with Billy Blue College of Design at Torrens University. I have since been privileged to work as lead interior designer on a number of residential and commercial projects specifically in the disability sector. Over the years I’ve learned interpreting plans and visualising a fully finished space isn’t something everyone loves to do. I focus on understanding my clients’ interior design intentions and finding the most effective ways to communicate the vision in a straightforward, informative and easy to grasp manner so we both have the same expectations. I invite you to check out some of my work in my portfolio and keep checking in to see more. PORTFOLIO

COMMERCIAL | DISABILITY MSWA Albany HIGH SUPPORT ACCOMMODATION IN A HAMPTONS SETTING Multiple Sclerosis WA is the leading non-profit organisation providing neurological support services and research in Western Australia. Specialising in supporting people across over 30 neurological conditions including Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke, Parkinson’s Disease, Huntington’s Disease, acquired brain injury, and Motor Neurone Disease to name a few. The MSWA Albany project delivered a new Service Centre and Supported Accommodation Centre for people living with neurological conditions. By creating an open, warm and familiar aesthetic, the interior design can enhance the everyday experiences of the Centre’s residents and visitors. The overall style for the MSWA Albany project is inspired by the Hamptons. With a neutral colour palette of whites, greys and browns, the interior design scheme aims to create a light and fresh ambiance with familiar comforts of home and the sophisticated charm of a beach side resort. Stone cladding and timber battens will be featured in warm hues while vertical and horizontal panelling will provide a coastal-home aesthetic. Individual highlights to specific areas will create interest and provide solutions to practical requirements. Small details around the facility provide a domestic feel to the interiors, creating a home for up to ten MSWA clients in their own private units. With a communal theatre, lounge and dining room, the residents and their visitors have the room to socialise and participate in group activities. MSWA are a fantastic organisation doing amazing work in the field of neurological disorders. If you'd like to get involved in some way, click the link below Get Involved with MSWA

RESIDENTIAL | RENOVATION Apartment 15 A CLASSIC MAKEOVER My clients in Apartment 15 purchased their sixth floor coastal sub-penthouse apartment off the plan as a downsizing exercise. After moving in, they wanted to personalise their new home and to relate all of their beautiful artworks and antique furniture pieces into the space. We modified the kitchen to achieve more bench space in and redesigned the cabinetry to have a more classic style. Decorative speckled warm white finger tiles created more interest in the splash back and a timber bench spanning the length of the island provided space for wine cabinets and oak and tan leather stools. Decorative beading was added to feature walls and all walls were painted in a beautiful warm neutral colour. A blue grey softened the primary bedroom walls while some sex appeal was added to internal doors with beading detail, all painted in a rich charcoal and adorned new brushed brass hardware. New shutters and the addition of two internal windows have brought more light into the home and offer more functionality for my clients. This project was an absolute pleasure thanks to my clients and the expert work from Collins Bros Contracting, Shepherd Craft Furniture and Quokka Painting & Decorating.

COMMERCIAL | WORKPLACE Outram & Hay Office HUMAN-CENTRED OFFICE DESIGN This office space used to be a bank. With two entries, a big column smack-bang in the middle of key circulation space, and some existing glazed partitions, the brief was to create a workstation hub, a formal meeting room for 10 people, an executive office space and a relaxed break out area to be versatile enough to accommodate staff social interactions as well as less formal client meetings. Client areas are identified by a change of carpet colour. Acoustic panels provide staff privacy and noise reduction in the open plan workstation hub. 3D images of the interior design intention helped my clients understand the intention and work out where the priorities were for them.

Back to Services Custom Joinery & Furniture Design Custom or bespoke joinery and furniture can provide a number of benefits to a space. It will fit perfectly, be built to tie in with the interior design scheme and make the most of the space. Clever joinery design can often save space or create a more functional use of an area. I can design built in and free standing furniture to suit your project.

Back to Services Spatial Planning Spatial Planning is a process designed to understand how the space available to you needs to be utilised and how best to format the layout, designation of area and purpose of your space, be it a new home, an existing home, restaurant or multi residential building. Putting thought and intention into the spatial planning of a project can make a big difference to how well resolved the project becomes.

Back to Services Pre-Construction/ Pre-Start Consultation Selecting finishes for a project can be daunting and confusing. There are so many options! It can be a real money saver to have the project finishes, fittings and furnishings selected during the planning stage of a project. Finishes often require specific types of substrates or structural support so by having these selected before the build or renovation starts, can save having to rectify oversights or make last minute reselections. Finishes, Fittings & Furnishings Selections Process THE BRIEF Identifying the project's functions, requirements, and revising the project plans and inspiration material to establish the interior design brief. Following this, I will develop the interior design brief and provide a digital mood board and written brief.

COMMERCIAL | DISABILITY Rocky Bay Sicily Rise AN OPPORTUNITY FOR INDEPENDENCE Rocky Bay is a Leading Provider of Disability Services to thousands of people in Perth WA, helping West Australians discover abilities since 1938. This $1.75m share house project will provide a handful of West Australians with an independent lifestyle in a community designed to support and encourage them. The possibilities are endless when we’re surrounded by people who makes us feel safe and included. Rocky Bay don’t rent rooms, they create homes. By creating a point of difference between each unit, the residents are provided with a sense of individualism and uniqueness. All three units feature a different colour timber accent, en suite feature tile, feature wall paint colour and cabinetry. Each unit is designed to support Rocky Bay clients living with disability, but not defined by it. With domestic materials and finishes used throughout the schemes, the project feels more like home than a supported care facility. Independence is encouraged through the design with motorised adjustable bench tops, blinds and doors to allow the residents to utilise their home as much as possible. With three units and a carers' quarters included in this project, it was important to create three different interior design schemes which all had a relationship to one another.
