Connection to Nature has been proven to have a positive impact on our wellbeing, and my design philosophy of Energy Based Design connects to Nature through form, materiality and texture, as well as considering the energetic flow of the spaces to create spaces where people thrive.
office design
I have been responsible for many office designs over the years, as both the client creating the brief and leading the project, and as a designer listening to the client’s needs.
My strength is in being able to build a brief that aligns with your workplace strategy and tells your story. This leads to designs that create positive experiences that support your staff health, wellbeing and productivity as well as amp up your brand presence.
The flow of spaces and how people connect and interact within them is a primary consideration in my designs, alongside designing to meet sustainability principles.
Sustainable buildings and interiors are healthier for occupants and can increase staff perception of a business as well as having a positive impact on attraction and retention of staff, productivity and absenteeism. I understand how to build sustainability into a project in a way that meets your business strategic objectives having both designed and managed the design and delivery of projects for clients including Beca, Meridian Energy, Kiwi Income Property Trust, Cooper and Co. ,BNZ and Fonterra.
residential design
My first residential design, Waraki House, completed in 2021, is an exploration of Sustainable Design methodologies and technologies that follows Biophilic Design principles and has Wellbeing at its heart.
My strength in this space lies in listening, understanding your wants and needs and developing your brief, so that the outcomes meet your expectations, and represent you.
