I work as a consultant to help people

I have over seventeen years experience building in Castlemaine and have built strong relationships with trusted local trades who bring expertise and a positive attitude to projects. 

Many homes in Castlemaine lack the space for contemporary living. I can help design an extension that creates an interesting dialogue between old and new, honouring the history while introducing sustainable and functional, contemporary elements to create spaces tailored to your lifestyle. 

I understand the unique challenges of landscaping in Castlemaine, with its hills, frosts, and limited water and topsoil. My experience with sustainable design and dry garden techniques allows me to create practical, beautiful landscapes that thrive in our local conditions.

Preparing a house for sale is a straightforward cost-benefit analysis that requires knowledge of local real estate trends and an understanding of the demographic of potential buyers, informed by market research. With expertise in the local market and a flair for design, I can help you make strategic choices to enhance your home’s appeal and maximise its value, ensuring it presents well to the right buyer and that you do not over-spend in the process.

With years of experience in the industry and a background as a visual artist, I bring both practical expertise and a creative eye to designing your renovation, new build, extension, or conversion. My focus is on crafting spaces that are sustainable, tranquil and provide the amenity you require.

I assist property owners and investors to explore the potential of their properties, including options for subdivision, landscaping, accommodation or development. By evaluating the property and working within local regulations, I help identify opportunities and guide you through obtaining the necessary permits and approvals to bring your vision to life in a thoughtful, innovative, sustainable and compliant manner.

Beyond aesthetics, I design spaces that are tranquil and invite contemplation, where every element works harmoniously to evoke a sense of calm and connection. These spaces are crafted to enrich daily life, offering not just comfort but an environment that inspires reflection and fosters a deep appreciation for both design and the natural world.
