I love working with Karen. She's a great listener that doesn't come in with pre conceived ideas and will spend the time getting to really understand the client and their needs. As a result, her work is first rate.

We have worked with Karen right through the total renovation/reconstruction of our 4 bedroom house in Bronte, NSW. It has been a wonderful collaboration. She listened to us, gave us choices for every conceivable item, colours, finishes, soft and and hard. She designed the kitchen and bathrooms. We have ended up with a house that we just love and the feedback we get from our family and friends reinforces our own feelings. We thought renovations were supposed to be stressful. It was actually an enjoyable experience. I have no hesitation in recommending Karen.

Working with Karen on the redesign of our home was a wonderful experience. She realised the vision I had in my head, while pushing my boundaries. She is professional and efficient, an absolute genius with colour, can mix expensive items with inexpensive ones to give a flawless, cohesive overall look. She kept within our budget and timeframe. I walk into my house every day and am filled with joy. I would highly recommend Karen and look forward to working with her again!

We were absolutely thrilled with the results that Karen helped us achieve. She was full of inspiration, ideas and practical advice from the start to the end of building our new home. Karen managed to interpret our ideas and pull everything together perfectly, each detail thought of and we couldn’t be happier with our home.
