I have worked with Helen since 2014 with projects ranging from residential developments to high end holiday homes. Helen has indeed become not only my company's "Chief Designer" but also my "Personal Design Adviser". She was engaged for all of our high end residential developments and all of my holiday homes in Auckland, Rotorua and Queenstown. Helen was able to help me as a single point of responsibility with initial concept designs, material and colour selections, right through to implementation and build; all within a set budget and timescale. 

I gained two fundamental benefits from employing Helen: One is the design itself. Helen was able to take a few basic and rather uncertain ideas of mine and show how they could be realised to their best effect. She put forward the most incredible ideas for wall papers, colours, light fittings, furniture, and kitchens. She was particularly amazing at coming up with solutions, and improvising, for the areas I hadn't considered. Sourcing everything would have taken me weeks, (or never at all). I have to say that Helen has a wonderful & trendy taste of design ideas. She always gives you choice, and adds in some interesting things that you just wouldn't have thought of, but that work beautifully. 

Second is the commercial benefit. Our clients were all extremely happy with the design solution in our developments, and they believe our end result is different from those by other developers, and I believe Helen's design had an influence here. Speaking of my own holiday houses, while I've only got to enjoy them for some days in a year; most other times they have been rented out short term and the return has been amazing. The stylish houses that Helen created has generated huge interest and made my houses especially popular. 

It has been great working with Helen for the past many years!

"We established contact with Helen after seeing her website.  We had built an off-the-grid, rustic industrial barn home - with a bit of glamour - in rural south Auckland.  Helens brief involved choosing colours for both the exterior and interior of the building; developing the lighting plan; establishing the kitchen design, including choosing the materials for the cabinetry and stone benchtops. As well as fitting out the bathrooms and the guest loo.  We are now in the process of working with Helen again to fit out soft furnishings. Helen has been wonderful to work with and I couldn't recommend her more highly. She understood my taste and slightly eclectic nature perfectly. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and everything was delivered ahead of time with her attention to detail always spot on.

I absolutely love the solutions Helen has provided us and we are looking forward to working with her again."

Helen's guidance has helped transform our tired bungalow into a stylish, gorgeous home.  With her extraordinary design sensibility, Helen has translated the vaguest of briefs... (e.g. "I like colour") ... into a soft, modern blend of beautiful wall coverings, drapes, tiles and fittings.

We love what Helen has done for our house, and cannot recommend her highly enough.

"We enlisted Helen's help at the planning stage of a kitchen renovation. We also wanted her help with refreshing our living areas and entrance. Working with Helen was, without a doubt, one of the best decision we made. We asked her to add some wow factor to our home and she has done it with such style and finesse and has made the entire process look so effortless. She carefully listened to what we wanted, made suggestions, gave options, but never forced her ideas upon us. She has helped us choose everything, from curtains, couches, side tables to cushions, lamps, throws, paint colours. Whilst our renovation is complete, we still find ourselves enlisting her help in other small projects.

Helen is such a delight to work with. She is an utmost professional and I couldn't recommend her more highly".

"Helen managed and delivered an incredible home renovation for us whilst we were based overseas. Helen's flair, vision and enthusiasm helped me push outside my own boundaries to create the most amazing home that's modern, edgy, warm and homely all at the same time. Helen not only completed the entire interior & exterior design and furniture supply, she also managed the subcontractors effectively on our behalf and made sure they worked within scope, budget & schedule. The results speak for themselves. Helen was a delight to work with. Her communication skills were awesome, giving us confidence from overseas that she was on the ball.

I strongly recommend Helen's design talent and project management skills. She has created a wonderful space that we now call home."
