“My mission is to help you leave an inspiring and mindful environmental legacy through low impact living. I want to empower and equip you to live a more eco-conscious lifestyle that is inclusive and accessible to everyone. ”
What does Home mean to you?
Whether you are embarking on a new build, renovation or simply updating a couple of rooms, the conscious design choices you make can have an astonishing positive effect on your health, and that of the planet.
The eco-design movement is not ‘new’. What is new are the number of ways in which our houses can be made sustainable from reclaimed, biomaterials, recycled and reconstituted materials.
One sustainable concept and philosophy, Biophilia is at the heart of human living spaces. Nature is the most essential part of my aesthetic for an indoor-outdoor connection and sustainable lifestyle which can be integrated into any style you love.
Your home is a form of self-expression and is saying something about the people who live, and work there. Home should make life easier, enable you to slow down and allow you to simply just ‘be’…

Design Consultation
This is our briefing and brainstorming session for scope of works and concept ideas for your space.
I will gather information about your lifestyle, aesthetics, style, colour preferences and dislikes, and discuss any problematic areas and solutions for them.
This is also the best time to discuss your project budget. I encourage you to prepare any questions or gather any images you are inspired by, prior to our consultation, though not essential.
Minimum 2 Hour Consultation Fixed fee $300

You can have a comfortable, sustainable home that is ‘perfectly imperfect’ for you…
It is possible to transform your home into an eco-friendly and stylish space without compromising your budget. If you are at the beginning of your sustainable journey, patience and tenacity is key. It’s important to reflect what style you are drawn to and how your household functions. I suggest starting small. One room at a time. One section at a time.
Browsing Vintage stores and op shops are a favourite past-time of mine. I love the juxtaposition of curating mixed pieces of vintage, upcycled with new. Example is an old dining table with modern dining chairs. Or a family heirloom dresser with a modern bedframe. It can be anything. Adding vintage pieces builds interesting layers with history and character, and adds to the charm of your individuality, blending stories of the past with the present.
Ultimately, my vision is about leaving a viable and conscious environmental footprint, big or small, based on mindful choices which last longer than seasonal trends.
Let’s get creative and resourceful! !

We are blessed to live in a world of colour…
Colour inspiration is everywhere yet do we use it to our benefit or tuck it away in the background without too much thought? Colour influences our fashion choices so why are we likely to gloss over it in the spaces we live?
The colours we use can alter our moods. Colour exploration can be a process of self-discovery and no, it’s not woo woo. It sounds deep but you do have a relationship with colour and how it makes you feel.
The type of paint we use affects our health and wellbeing, especially if you or family members have allergies. I specify low VOC or non-toxic paints, or using natural materials from the earth.
Whether you are wanting to create a space to relax or feel energized, a successful colour scheme means identifying colours you are drawn to and your design style.
E- Design Consultation
This service is for anyone wanting a colour consultation to design concept and development if you live remotely or Australia Wide!
