I have been a designer and creator all my life – making floor plans out of fallen leaves as a child; providing furnishing and styling advice to friends and flatmates; and renovating two family homes. In my first career created iconic brands in New Zealand and overseas, managing large projects on time and to budget.  These creative endeavours have always been fueled by my ability to visualise the possibilities and my love for bringing dreams to life.

Designing and building my own home was a lifelong dream that changed my life.  During my second major renovation project, I earned my Diploma of Interior Design, studied CAD drawing and completed various interior design projects in Mount Maunganui. These experiences confirmed my love and talent for the craft. After completing my home, I became an interior designer and established Be, a full-service interior design consultancy specialising in kitchen and bathroom design, with the aim of making people's everyday lives more enjoyable through exceptional design.
