“The best rooms also have something to say about the people that live in them”

-David Hicks

After completing my 3 years Interior Design Diploma and working within the design industry creating furniture for Interior Designers, I took the leap to go out on my own and started Olive Concepts Ltd in early 2005.

Over the past 17 years I have helped hundreds of clients to achieve homes of their dreams through both new builds and renovations.

I love my job and consider it a real privilege to be invited into your home to help to make it the best it can be.

My main focus when meeting new clients is to ascertain what it is that will turn their project into something that reflects their personality and needs. I’m not into designing the same look (my look) for all my clients. The challenge is to create a space that works for you and your family.

My aim is to turn what can be a highly stressful exercise into a fun and rewarding experience. Not only will you end up with a gorgeous home, but with advice and industry connections it’s highly likely that you will save both time and money along the way.

I work closely with a wide range of skilled trade professionals - many of whom I have worked with for many years across multiple jobs. However I am also very happy to work with trades people that you may already have a relationship with or have selected - it’s your project.

I am a down-to-earth, practical person and that’s the approach I take with my work. Together we will work out what “dream home” means to you and then come up with a plan to create a space that is perfectly suited to you and your lifestyle, taste and budget.

So if you are looking to update a single room that needs new furniture, or you’re tackling a new build and need assistance selecting everything from roofing and joinery to fabrics to cover an ottoman, I’d love to chat about how we can work together.
