the residence
Full-scope interior design for residential and boutique commercial projects, Australia-wide.
The Residence is my most complete offering — full-scope interior design from early concept through to final styling, for clients who want one considered point of view guiding every decision. Whether you're building, renovating, or refreshing a single room, the approach is the same: personal, collaborative, and grounded in how you actually live.
I work with natural materials, timeless palettes, and a layered approach to texture and tone. Every detail is considered — from spatial planning and finishes to custom joinery and furniture selection — so the end result feels not only beautiful, but deeply aligned with your lifestyle.
Design services include:
– Pre-DA spatial review — a detailed review of your plans before council submission, ensuring furniture layout, joinery, and finishes are thoughtfully integrated from the start
– Concept development and mood boards — bringing your vision to life with curated concepts that capture the feeling, tone, and direction for your space
– Floor plan reviews and spatial planning — refining layouts to maximise flow, functionality, and connection throughout your home
– Selection of finishes, fixtures, and fittings — guiding you through selections with a focus on timeless materials and cohesive detailing
– Custom joinery concepts — I work closely with clients to understand how they live and what they need from their space—then translate that into thoughtful, functional joinery concepts.
– Add-Ons: Furniture, lighting, and decor sourcing — curating pieces that complement your space, creating a layered, effortless feel
– Add-Ons: Styling and final layer curation — the considered finishing touches that bring warmth, depth, and personality to your home
I take on a limited number of Residence projects each year, giving each one the time and depth it deserves. If this sounds like the kind of collaboration you're looking for, I'd love to hear about your project.
The Process
-
I begin all enquiries with a paid in-home initial consultation so we can get to know one another ensuring I am the best fit for your project and to find out more about your desires for and scope of your home.
It's at this point in time, I will take images and measurements within your home (if applicable) of the spaces you are wishing to work on as a reference for your brief.
-
After the initial consultation, I will send you a proposal of the scope of the project and total investment for my design services.
Once agreed upon, we can begin our journey together.
-
This initial stage of the design process incorporates a number of aspects, including; mood boards and colour scheme concepts to guide your overall design direction, and functionality & spacial planning to ensure each space is purposefully designed before we begin.
I will also indicate material types and suggestions that we can explore in the following design development stage.
-
During this stage, I meet with our trades on site, reviewing the designs we have discussed ensuring their suitability, budget and timelines.
-
During the Design Development stage, your concept begins to come to life with 2D and 3D renders and the finalisation of all of your selections.
-
Once your selections have been confirmed, they are added to a materials, finishes and fittings schedule (in short FF&E). Along with your Drawings Package, these will be presented to you for final sign offs and handed over to your builder/trades to implement into your design.
-
Your Design Documentation is submitted to your trades for quotations, then any revisions to your project estimate are reviewed together to ensure we are all in alignment.
-
Don't fret, our journey is not complete until you are all moved (back) in!
During the construction phase I am available to you for review of any concerns that arise and to ensure that your schedule and entire project remains on track.
-
During this final phase, all of your final furniture deliveries (if required) are managed, then your home is staged and styled.
Then it’s time to celebrate and enjoy your new home!
Whatever you're building, we're here to help you take the first step with confidence.
Designing or renovating a home involves more decisions than most people expect — and the difference a considered designer makes isn't just in the outcome, it's in how the process feels along the way.
When we work together, you'll have a clear design direction from the start, a calm and experienced guide through every decision, and access to a network of trusted trades and designer-only sourcing you won't find on the showroom floor. I look beyond the immediate selections to how your home will feel and function as a whole — spotting potential issues before they become costly, and ensuring every choice serves the bigger picture.
It's about more than a beautiful outcome. It's a process built on trust, clarity, and the belief that good design should feel as considered as the home it creates.
