About Gary


As a Brisbane-based interior designer, I specialise in transforming homes and apartments across Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, and the Gold Coast into spaces that are both beautiful and practical.

My focus is on creating spaces that enhance your lifestyle and reflect who you are. I take the time to understand your unique preferences and daily routines so that each room isn’t just visually pleasing but also comfortable and functional. My goal is to create an environment where you feel relaxed, inspired, and truly at home.

Listening closely to clients is at the core of my approach. I work to blend the varied tastes and needs within a household, designing spaces that feel balanced, welcoming, and harmonious for everyone.

With a focus on timeless style, my design philosophy centres on creating lasting spaces rather than following fleeting trends. I aim to make the design process accessible and enjoyable, helping you shape a home that feels fresh and inviting for years to come.

Our Step-by-Step Design Process

Step 1: Initial Consultation

We begin by discussing your ideas, scope of work, and budget in detail. This consultation costs $495 (including GST) and includes travel to and from your home and a two-hour session.

Step 2: Design Planning and Proposal

For larger projects, we provide a Scope of Services and Fee proposal detailing the project and associated costs. We then develop a Design Schedule, including space plans, item descriptions, images, and pricing.

Step 3: Review and Adjust Concepts

We meet at your home to review the design concepts and make any necessary adjustments to align the design with your vision.

Step 4: Implementation and Final Touches

Once the design is finalised, we implement the plan. For decoration projects, we order furniture and coordinate with professionals for custom pieces, window treatments, painting, and more.
