A Little Bit About Me

Entering the workforce, I found myself gravitating towards roles that always involved visual elements. Building my career as a Visual Merchandiser and Window Dresser within the Retail Industry, I discovered I had a keen eye for attention to detail and found great joy in presenting merchandise for National and International Brands.

​My first experience working with fabrics, soft furnishings and wallpaper was with Laura Ashley in the late 80s in Elizabeth Street Melbourne, this was such a great introduction to the world of Interior Decorating and when I look back at the favourite times in my retail career, this was one of them.


Fast forward to 2020 in a year that changed our world, I took time to reflect during the lockdowns and asked myself several questions, was I living my best life, if I could do anything what would it be and is it all too late?
It was during this time I decided to fulfill my childhood dream and signed up as a student with the Interior Design Institute, at the same time a friend had asked me to help prepare their house for sale and so I began to think about the world of Property Staging and Styling and here we are today with that plan slowly unfolding.

 

With decades of experience in serving the public in numerous roles, I bring to the table professionalism, enthusiasm and a superior level of customer service.
Whether your property is for sale, looking for an interior decorating upgrade, or ready to take your Airbnb rental to the next level of presentation, I am here to be of service to you in creating something wonderful for your home.

 

Thank you for taking the time to check in on my story.
