  • "Kate was fantastic to work with. I enjoyed watching the design evolve through her passion and commitment. She added layers and depth to the home with an end result far beyond my expectations"

    Danny / Pauanui Residence owner

  • "Kate, I am so lucky to have had the pleasure of working with you. Thank you for sharing your creativity with me on this project. I am absolutely thrilled with how it all looks and proud every time I show someone through - that's all down to you. Aroha nui x "

    Sheree / Vintage Kids owner

  • "Kate, thank you for 'getting us'! and nudging us out of our comfort zone in ways we would never have considered on our own"

    Hamish + Christina / Russell Residence owners

  • "Kate’s input took our project from a standard renovation to an amazing family home we love. She provided insights and suggestions that elevated the new rooms without feeling out of character with the existing spaces"

    Emma + Jack / Waterview Residence owners

  • "Kate is our designer, but she is also a friend. Working with her is fun and collaborative. She quickly understood what we were trying to achieve and how to make that work in the space we had. She nudged us to make a bold paint choice and it so worked. It feels just like the beach-side cottage we wanted when we saw this home. "
