Architects handle structure; we design the joinery, storage, lighting and finishes you live with every day—then document it for a smooth build.

Every project is different, but most clients fall into a clear range once we understand the scope. What I can promise is this: you’ll always know the cost upfront, and you’ll never be surprised mid-way through.

My work replaces guesswork with a clear plan — photo-real visuals, joinery details, materials, and a layout that actually works for your routines. That clarity saves far more in re-dos, delays, and “wish we’d known that earlier” moments than a lower upfront fee ever could.

If you’d like a ballpark for your space, I’m happy to give you a simple, no-pressure estimate.

Yes, though we prefer to work with ours. While our builder-ready drawings & schedules are made for smooth hand-offs and fewer site questions, we know ours do an exceptional job on time every time.

We aim for render → reality. Photo-real visuals match approved finishes and layouts so there are no surprises on site.

Clients often tell me that walking into their finished space feels like stepping into the render. That level of truth reduces risk, removes doubt, and gives you the calm certainty that you’re choosing the right design from the start.

Typically 2–4 weeks for design; manufacture/install is 6–12+ weeks depending on suppliers.

Yes. While we work in primarily Napier, Hastings, Havelock North, we have completed projects across NZ from Wanaka to Herald Island. We will only do this if we feel we can support you the same as our in person clients.

You don’t need to know your style — that’s my job.

Most of my clients come to me overwhelmed, second-guessing, or afraid to make the “wrong” choice. I guide you through the process in small, manageable steps so decisions feel obvious instead of heavy.

We narrow options quickly, show you exactly how things will look together, and keep your choices aligned with how you actually live. By the end, you’ll feel confident — not because you suddenly became decisive, but because the path became clear.

That’s exactly where thoughtful design makes the biggest difference.

Small or awkward spaces aren’t a problem — they just need smarter flow, better storage, and layouts that match your daily habits.

Some of my most transformative projects started with tricky footprints or older homes. When every centimetre is considered, your space can work beautifully, feel calmer, and give you the ease you’ve been missing.

I offer both.
If you’re early in your renovation and just need clarity, a direction, or a second pair of eyes, a one-off consult can give you the confidence to move forward.

If you want deeper support — layouts, joinery design, materials, lighting, and builder-ready plans — the full-service options keep you supported from concept to completion.

Either way, you get guidance that makes your next step feel clear and doable.
