You're about to embark on a journey shaped by exploration and collaboration. We’ll begin this process with a free, no-obligation discovery meeting. This is where we set out to define the scope of your project. I'll ask you to describe what inspired you to work with me, any thoughts and ideas you have, as well as any challenges or concerns you may have. This will help us define what it is that we need to do together so we are on the same page. Following this meeting, I’ll provide an Estimated Fee Proposal to complete the work.

During the conceptual phase, we'll collaborate to express your ideas in a tangible way, review your architectural plans, ideas for each space and discuss a budget. Following this discussion, my vision for the areas in question will be presented to you through carefully curated reference imagery, spatial planning and meticulous material selections for your consideration.

Evolving palettes, materiality and documentation, the design development phase is where a cohesive visual alignment begins to take shape. During this phase I develop your design: sourcing additional or alternative materials, creating conceptual drawings for elevated areas such as kitchens, bathrooms and laundries, and sourcing trade pricing where needed. Drawing and designing happen side by side, so it's important not to rush this phase, and each design decision is carefully considered. Equally important are showroom visits to meet my trusted suppliers and see your selections in person before sign-off.

I expect a high level of detailing from the trades and contractors I work with. To avoid confusion or inaccuracies along the way, my construction drawings provide a comprehensive overview of what is to be constructed, allowing contractors to proceed with confidence and efficiency. They include dimensions, tile locations, grout line locations, centres and heights to plumbing and electrical fittings, and so on. Along with the nitty-gritty detail, I'll also provide colour renders showing your selected finishes and fittings in 3D. The finishes and fittings schedule is also finalised and issued as part of the construction package.

The final flourish. Overlays of delicate materials: rugs, curtains, textiles are considered alongside soft furnishings, lighting and artwork. In the final design stage, your layout will be optimised based on your refined spatial needs. Sizing and placement of furniture, existing or new, is mediated prior to placing orders. A layered approach is applied to your soon-to-be 'new' space, using these 'softer' elements to enhance the fluidity and magic, where you felt magic perhaps didn't exist before.
