D E S I G N P H I L O S O P H YWith the world and life constantly on the move, trends seem to come and go atlightening speed. So my design philosophy focuses on selecting enduring finishesand furnishings that will stand the test of time. In doing so, every design solutionshould endeavor to positively impact a persons way of life and their feelings wheninteracting everyday within a space, be it at home, at work or at play. Every client isunique and so as a decorator I like to uncover a style that reflects their personality,which can incorporate pieces from their past (like family heirlooms or travel curios)with a curated selection of materials and furnishings, ensuring delivery of a unifiedstyle and design solution. The global nature of design allows selection of beautifullydesigned wares from all over the world, yet where possible I believe sustainableAustralian designed and made materials, furnishings, artwork and accessoriesshould be at the heart of every interior design project.
