If you’re reading this, chances are you’re preparing to dive into a new build or renovation project, a journey that tests the best of us. As an interior designer, I’ve seen it all: the triumphs, the challenges, and the moments that make you question your relationship, pushing you to the brink. Even with the inevitable bumps on the road, it’s always worth it. As Australians, we’re a nation of home lovers. We’re obsessed with property and renovating because our home is much more than its bricks and mortar. Done right, a beautiful home doesn’t just look good, it feels good. When your vision is realised, it’s a special kind of magic that brings your family and friends all together in a beautifully cohesive space.

Think of this e-book as your ultimate cheat sheet. I’ve curated a list of invaluable contacts, resources, and industry secrets that have been hard-earned through years of collaboration and creative exploration. Whether you’re sourcing materials, seeking inspiration, or not sure where to start, you’re in the right place. These are the brands and people I lean on. This book is brimming with incredible suppliers who can provide quality materials and products and insider tips that will save you time and money. This is your shortcut to navigating the complexities of design and avoiding hours of endless scrolling on Instagram and Pinterest figuring out where that Antique Brass tap you must have is from.

The Inside Scoop is filled with creators I genuinely love working with. Across every stage of the build, from the super luxe to the everyday, there’s someone in here who can help. I believe that great design should be accessible to everyone, and my goal is to empower you with the tools and connections you need to bring your dream home to life. 

So, roll up your sleeves, and let’s turn your design dreams into something truly special. 

Welcome to the Inside Scoop.
