DESIGN
CREATING SPACES THAT FEEL UNIQUELY YOU, WITH CRAFTSMANSHIP THAT STANDS THE TEST OF TIME.
Hi, I'm Sue!
I specialise in thoughtfully crafted interiors, coordinating key design elements to create enduring, unique, life enhancing spaces.
Recycled textiles, the sourcing of fine art, restoring classic furniture, and salvage are a particular focus - bringing depth and story to the spaces I design.
Textiles, lighting, art, furnishings, flooring, and finishing touches are sourced internationally and locally (where possible).
I take great pleasure in the collaborative journey, discovering your personal style, understanding how you live, and working together to realise your dreams with versatile and bespoke design. Whether a new build, full renovation, or just a wee zhoosh up, please contact me.

Where do we start?
Obligation-Free Initial Consultation.
Designing your space is a personal journey and I’m here to guide you every step of the way. I start by getting to know you: how you live and what inspires you. From there, I develop a scheme that reflects your personality and lifestyle, while making the most of your space. It’s a collaborative and creative process, grounded in trust, conversation, and a shared vision. Whether we’re starting from scratch, re-imagining an existing space, or simply adding a touch of something new, I’m dedicated to making the experience as enjoyable and rewarding as the finished result.
Concept Development & Budget Planning
Based on our initial discussion, I craft a preliminary concept scheme. Together, we refine the design until it aligns with your vision and budget.
Implementation & Project Management
Upon approval, I oversee the creation and procurement of custom furnishings, window treatments, and other design elements. Collaborating with trusted manufacturers and artisans, ensuring quality craftsmanship.
