ABOUT MELISSA
My style is influenced by over a decade working in the New York design scene and many years of international travel.
Through these experiences I’ve learnt that every interior should tell a story. Central to my work are the people destined to reside there. Who they are now, how they live, and their aspirations for the future. My aim is to create something unique and tailored for each and every one of my clients which is not only beautiful, but functional and of the best quality. This is reflected in my design choices and the industry partners I choose to collaborate with.
Based in Auckland, my current focus is across Residential and Development projects.
HOW WE WORK
While I create unique and tailored interiors for
my clients, my approach is consistent.
Stage One: Meet and Greet
Meeting to get an understanding of your space, aspirations and scope of work involved. I work on an array of different projects from new builds, renovations or simply a refresh of a single space.
Stage Two: Concept
A conceptual vision board is prepared of the initial interior inspiration. This informs design direction, aesthetics of materials, layout and functional requirements of the space.
Stage Three: Design Selections
The journey begins in selecting all finishes, furniture and furnishings within the scope of your project. This stage also involves meeting trades people on-site and guiding them through what’s needed in order for them to supply quotes.
Stage Four: Presentation
This stage is when it all starts to come together. I present your curated design selections, talking you through quotes, breaking options down into preferred selections. At this stage you may wish to go and view products that interest you.
Stage Five: Installation
Once your quotes have been signed off and the items have been ordered, we then schedule an installation day where I set up and style the finishing touches. Your unique space is now ready to enjoy.
