I love the contact with bright, motivated students, who are as passionate about interior design. It’s rewarding to guide them to learn and embrace all aspects of Interior Design, find their passion, and develop into designers. Students always bring something new to the classroom, and I am always learning from them.

I love that Interior Design has the capability of improving and creating environments that clients love, whether it’s their place of work or their home. It’s about much more than fabric and paint. I love the contact with people – clients, architects, contractors, and tradesmen. Being able to have knowledge in all these areas is important to be able to communicate the design.

After graduating from Media Arts, I carried on my studies to complete a Diploma in Interior Design. I was lucky enough to begin my career as the Interior Designer for a prominent Hamilton Architect. There I worked on many large and small scale residential and commercial buildings. A have been fortunate enough to work in 2 architectural practices over the last 10 years, acquiring a large knowledge base of the building industry. I began teaching in 2016.
