I’m an interior designer and project manager, and I work across two countries.

I spent seventeen years building a residential practice in London — Chelsea, Knightsbridge, Kensington, Holland Park, Mayfair, Pimlico, Battersea — across everything from apartment refurbishments to multi-storey extensions, basement excavations, and listed buildings. In 2018, after seventeen wonderful years, we moved back to Australia with our young son. I’ve been based on the Sunshine Coast ever since, working on projects here and in Melbourne while continuing to look after clients in the UK.

I came to interiors because I’ve always believed a home can do more than function. Good design is quietly life-affirming: the right house, properly considered, changes how a family lives in it. That conviction hasn’t changed in twenty-five years of practice. What’s changed is how much I understand about what it takes to get there — and about what it’s like to make the move myself.

Because I did make it, first buying and renovating our own home in London and then moving back to Australia. We bought our Australian house on the back of a single short viewing, from the other side of the world, relying on an agent and a brief surveyor’s report. The house is lovely and we’ve made it a home — but I underestimated how different the reality would be, and I started from scratch on everything: trades, suppliers, regulations, materials, even the light. Over the past eight years I’ve rebuilt all of it, and developed a way of working that blends what I loved about London interiors with what genuinely suits the Australian climate.

That experience is now the center of what I do. I work with Australians moving between the UK and Australia — coming home, investing from overseas, or relocating to London — vetting properties, designing and renovating, managing construction, and, for those who want it, handing over a house that’s furnished and ready to live in. My earlier career was in finance, which is why the budgeting and reporting are rigorous rather than decorative.

Throughout any project, the client stays central. My style is collaborative — your home should reflect your life, not my portfolio — and the work is characterized by close listening, attention to detail, and rigorous planning. The result should be unmistakably yours, and should take you to a new level of comfort, ease, and real joy in the place you live.
