From Fashion to Interiors & Luxury Property Transformation

MY STORY

My design journey began in high-end fashion, where I contributed to design work under the Pierre Cardin label and the New York Knicks. Traveling between Milan, Paris, and Las Vegas taught me how luxury, craftsmanship, and curation create exceptional experiences—principles I later applied to interiors.

After relocating from South Africa to Australia, I immersed myself in interior and property styling, earning awards like the Australasian Student Design Award and an Outstanding Achievement in Interior Design. This led to managing an interior design college, developing online courses, and later launching a property styling business.

My most significant achievement came through property transformation, where I achieved a 100% return within two years, generating a $2.3 million profit—proving that great design is about smart, intentional investment.

Now based in a 200 year old property in the Cotswolds, I continue to refine my expertise while transforming my own home—a project that reflects my philosophy of timeless elegance, thoughtful curation, and high-value design.
