hawkes bay based interior designer helping clients create their dream home — nKBA certified kitchen and Bathroom designer.

One you cannot wait to host in without having to apologize for the poor design decisions you’re currently working with like the cramped kitchen, lack of seating, or that awkward bathroom.
