Creative Concept Blueprint
$1,450 per room (AUD)
Available world wide
For bathrooms, kitchens, laundries and powder rooms, the rooms where the selections are expensive and the mistakes are permanent.
You receive, within ten business days of your booking date: a concept board showing the room as one picture: tile, tapware, vanity, mirror, hardware, paint and materials together, so you can see whether it works before anyone orders anything · a finishes specification schedule your builder prices from, with a direct sourcing link for every item · the paint colours by name and finish · two refinement rounds, not one · and the thing I actually sell, which is having made these calls a few hundred times across four of my own houses, one of which ended up on television.
I don’t purchase on your behalf and this isn’t architectural drawings or approvals. It’s the direction, the part that decides whether the finished room feels considered or assembled.
Includes:
• Initial design consultation (online)
• A complete creative concept direction for your space
• A detailed finishes specification spreadsheet
• Selected tiles, tapware, vanity, mirrors, hardware, paint colours and materials
• Direct sourcing links for all selections
• 2x refinement rounds
You receive a polished concept pack that can be shared directly with your builder or trades to guide selections and ensure the finished space feels cohesive and considered.
When booking, choose an available date in the calendar. This is your project start date, not an appointment time. Your completed concept will be presented to you within 10 business days of that date. Once booked, check your confirmation email and reply with the requested details so I can begin your design.
I can not wait to get my creativity flowing on bringing your vision to life for your perfect space!

The Whole House - Creative Concept Blueprint
$4,800 (AUD)
Available world wide
For a whole cohesive vision, that tells one story from the front door to the back.
Finishes for the kitchen, laundry, powder room and main bathroom, plus the colour scheme that runs through the rest of the house.
Designed as one home and delivered as one schedule, so the brass in the ensuite agrees with the hardware in the kitchen and every white is the same family. Four rooms booked separately would be $5,760.
Need another bathroom room done to the same standard? Save vibe but its own unique colour and tile selection? Add each on for $800 each.
You receive, within ten business days of your booking date: a concept board & finishes schedule for each space as one picture, tile, tapware, vanity, mirror, hardware, paint and materials together, so you can see whether it works before anyone orders anything · a finishes specification schedule your builder prices from, with a direct sourcing link for every item, · the paint colours by name and finish · two refinement rounds · and the thing I actually sell, which is having made these calls a few hundred times across four of my own houses.

Sixty minutes on a video call, one room, your samples in your hand. We go through what you’ve chosen, what’s fighting, and what to do about it. No document and no schedule, just the answers, quickly, from someone who has agonised over the right shade of paint a few hundred times and gets it. Credited in full if you go on to book a Blueprint.
The house that proves it
A neglected three-storey house on the Gold Coast, every finish chosen by me, every trade managed by me, filmed by Grand Designs Australia and run in Grand Designs Magazine. The whole story, with twenty-five photographs and the floor plans, is here.
My Design Approach
Beautiful spaces rarely happen by accident.
They are the result of thoughtful decisions about light, materials, proportion and atmosphere. The way stone meets timber, the warmth of brass against natural textures, the softness of the right paint colour as it changes throughout the day.
My approach to renovation design is not about following trends. It is about creating spaces that feel timeless, balanced and quietly luxurious.
Often the difference between a renovation that feels “nice” and one that feels truly considered comes down to the details, choosing the right tone of white, selecting finishes that complement rather than compete, and creating a palette that feels cohesive from the moment you enter the room.
This is where creative direction becomes powerful.
With a clear design concept in place, builders, trades and suppliers can work from a unified vision, making the renovation process smoother and ensuring the finished space feels intentional rather than pieced together.
Whether you are renovating a single bathroom or refreshing an entire home, my goal is to help you create a space that feels calm, refined and deeply connected to how you want your home to feel.
My work across renovation, beauty and visual storytelling has been featured on Grand Designs, and I bring the same attention to detail and design sensitivity to every project I collaborate on.
And when the room is finished, the walls need something. My paintings and patterns are released as prints in small collections.
Interiors & brand photography
For the rooms that are finished and the brands that live in them. Interiors, styled spaces, lifestyle product photography and campaign imagery for homewares and design brands,shot by someone who chooses finishes for a living and knows which way the light should fall on them. Full usage rights included, which is the part most people find out about afterwards. Past clients include Adairs, Kip & Co, Sage and Clare, Koala Eco and Inspirations Paint.
