“Originally a Waikato girl I have returned from working in an Auckland based role running a national interior design team specialising in cutouts both residential and commercial involving furniture and textiles. My creative background coupled with attention to detail and successful management of relationships enables my clients to enjoy the excitement of their project.
I pride myself in ensuring customer satisfaction remains a priority to make my clients feel comfortable and able to make decisions with ease and confidence.
In my own time I enjoy getting creative in the kitchen with my favourite dish being a whole side of salmon cooked on the American offset smoker. I also like to keep active, enjoy spending quality time with family and friends, and travelling the world.”

“For over 25 years I’ve helped people bring clarity, confidence, and excitement to major life decisions — first as a senior Executive Assistant in the property sector, and now as a design‑led consultant guiding clients through the journey of creating their dream home. Alongside my professional background, I’ve spent more than a decade running my own interior design business and have personally renovated three homes from different eras. That hands‑on experience means I understand how design choices translate into real‑world functionality, cost, and long‑term liveability. Clients value my ability to listen deeply, translate their ideas into practical solutions, and support them through each step with calm, organised, detail‑driven care.
What I love most about working with Downey Designer Homes is helping people feel genuinely supported from the moment they walk through the door. Building a home should feel exciting, not overwhelming — and my role is to make the process clear, enjoyable, and tailored to your lifestyle. Whether you’re designing your first home, upgrading for a growing family, or creating a forever space, I bring a blend of design expertise, renovation insight, and relationship‑focused service to ensure your home feels beautifully considered and uniquely yours.”
