About Gary

As a Brisbane-based interior designer, I specialise in crafting functional and beautiful spaces for homes and apartments across Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, and the Gold Coast.

My approach is all about enhancing your lifestyle with designs that not only look stunning but also feel perfectly suited to you. I take the time to understand your daily routines and personal tastes, ensuring each room is a true reflection of your personality and meets your needs. For me, design is more than just aesthetics; it’s about creating spaces where you feel truly comfortable, at ease, and inspired.

Listening closely to clients is at the core of my work. I strive to balance diverse preferences within a household, creating spaces that are both harmonious and welcoming.

My design philosophy is built on timeless style. I value lasting, personalised designs over fleeting trends, ensuring that your home will remain inviting and fresh for years to come. Above all, I believe in making interior design an enjoyable, accessible journey for everyone.

Our Collaborative Process

Step 1: Initial Meeting

During our first meeting, we discuss your ideas, scope of work, and budget. This consultation costs $495 (including GST) and includes travel to and from your home and a 2-hour discussion.

Step 2: Detailed Design Planning

We provide a Scope of Services and Fee proposal for larger projects outlining the project details and costs. We then develop a Design Schedule, including space plans, item descriptions, images, and pricing.

Step 3: Concept Presentation and Adjustment

We review the design concepts at your home and make any necessary adjustments to ensure the final design aligns with your vision.

Step 4: Implementation and Finalisation

Once the design is approved, we implement the plan. For decoration projects, we order furniture and coordinate with professionals for custom pieces, window treatments, painting, and more. We collaborate with builders and other trades to complete the refurbishment for design projects.
