WELLBEING IS KEY TO THE SUCCESS OF ANY PROJECT, NO MATTER WHAT THE SCALE OF PROJECT, OR TYPE OF BUILDING.

WORKPLACE STRATEGY

A successful project starts with a Workplace Strategy.

No matter how many people you have in your organisation, or how complex the change you are planning, the strategy is a fundamental part of any project.

By understanding how you work now, how you would like to work and what needs to happen to achieve that, I help you create a strategy that will get you there.

I have delivered workplace strategies for many clients including Beca, BNZ, Fonterra, Mahitahi Colab, Napier City Council, Queenstown Lakes Council, Tasman District Council, Piritahi and Rabobank.

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 amping up your brand presence.

Biophilic Design is so beneficial to wellbeing, and is an important part of my design philosophy, bringing Nature in through natural materials, patterns and textures, as well as connecting people to Nature with natural daylight and views. I consider the energetic flow of the spaces to create spaces where people thrive.

Sustainable design is key to the success of any project, and I work to minimise environmental impact by developing sustainabilty principles for each client that work towards their goals for the project.

I have designed and managed the design and delivery of projects for clients including Beca, Meridian Energy, Kiwi Income Property Trust, Cooper and Co, BNZ, Rabobank, Fonterra, Dunedin City Council and Mahitahi Colab Tasman.

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.
