My Approach
Our work begins with an initial phone conversation to discuss your needs and determine if we are a good fit for each other. The next step is a one-on-one design consultation, which takes place in your home or office. During this meeting, we gather essential information about your requirements, getting to know you, your needs, wants, any special requests, and your style. We also establish the scope of work and budget. Relevant measurements and pertinent information are collected at this meeting.
Following our consultation, we prepare a Design Fee Proposal based on all the information gathered. Once you accept the proposal, we begin the exciting process of transforming your space.
What People Are Saying
“Julie is a magician! She took our ambiguous descriptions of what we liked, what we said we wanted, what we thought we didn’t want, the space and the feel of the house, and turned that into a living room that we love.
After spending literally months (actually years!) on our own endlessly trawling through wildly chaotic different sofa options, we turned to Julie for professional help. Within days Julie had a cohesive scheme for us and a curated selection to choose from. As usually is the case for us, our first choice exceeded budget. Julie was indefatigable and found us an even better option (colour/texture/price), which in real life is absolutely stunning.
Julie also sourced dining chairs that were no longer in commercial production - more magic!
Julie provided the right balance of advice and guidance and I am happy to say that we have a space that is perfect for us and how we live with our family and friends.
I can wholeheartedly recommend Julie! I wish I had realised way earlier that a Pinterest page, a stack of magazines and trawling through fabric stores would not give me any design skills. We have truly benefited from a skilled professional”.

“I recently had the pleasure of working alongside Julie at a shoot in Coolum. As a photographer, capturing the essence and beauty of a space is paramount for me. Julie’s eye for design was not only visually stunning but also incredibly inspiring to shoot. Every room was meticulously thought through with a perfect balance of colour, texture, and form.
One of the standout aspects of working with Julie was her openness to collaborate in order to achieve the best desired outcome. Thanks for making my experience (job) such a fun and rewarding one Julie.”
