In 2014, I moved to Sydney from Oakland, California with my late pup, Sophie. To get our bearings, we explored the Lower North Shore, and in the process, I fell in love with the beautiful 1930s bungalow gems that dot the community. Renovating these charming homes has now become a cornerstone of my practice, where I focus on maintaining their unique character while enhancing their space and functionality. I now take those walks with Oaki, our chief Barkitect, and even after over a decade, these homes continue to spark inspiration and excitement in my work.

 

As a design professional, I love guiding my clients in making informed choices for their homes or listings. Partnering with a design expert means you can trust that I'm attuned to the latest trends while also anticipating what will stand the test of time. When faced with challenging design decisions, I’m here to simplify the process.

I understand that my clients are busy professionals, and I take pride in leading their projects from initial concept to final completion. Creating a home you love is a significant investment, and I prioritise timeless beauty, organisation, and functionality in every project. My commitment to ethical sourcing means procuring sustainable furnishings crafted by local Australian craftspeople and unique pieces from global artisan communities whenever possible.

With over fifteen years of experience in media optics, visual storytelling, and environmental advocacy, you can trust that meticulous attention to detail will shine through in every element of our work together.

Collaborating with clients from an array of diverse backgrounds is the best part of my work. So, if you are keen to maximise your living spaces through clever design and beautiful aesthetics, we should connect. I look forward to hearing from you!
