Right from the initial consultation, we are following our proven organised ’15 Step Design Process’ to manage your project. We will design your space, source all fixtures and fittings, engage all the necessary trades and suppliers, arrange all the purchasing, installation and styling down to the very last pillow.
Our mission is to create a fabulous interior that is a direct reflection of you and your family and how you have always imagined you should be living. We will be there every step of the way and promise a fabulous result that we can deliver on time and on budget.
Cost: $700 for a 2 hour consultation, then custom pricing.
One-off Design
You’ve made a Houzz Ideas Book or a Pinterest board – but how do you bring it to life? This is a great option if you have a strong interest in design or interiors yourself, but you’re not confident to actually put the room together.
You know what you like – but how do you make it happen?
Jodie will come to your home and review your ideas, dreams and budget. You will have the opportunity to ask about anything from furniture placement to paint colours, design styles, window furnishings, fixtures and finishes, kitchen and bathroom designs, accessorising and just about any design dilemma you currently have.
At the end of the meeting you will have a written plan, sketches if need be and all the advice you need to move forward with this project yourself.
Having the advice of a design professional before you make changes to your space can help avoid costly mistakes down the track, and add value to your property before selling. Cost: $700.00 for a 2-hour session – further hours are billed at $275.00 per hour

Jodie undertook interior design for our house renovation and project managed the details for us with the builders. It was a seamless service with Jodie always delivering on what she promised and with a fantastic eye for every detail. She delivered beyond our expectations.

We provide a professional service working with children with speech, language, learning and developmental difficulties. It was important that our working space provided a calm, friendly and functional space where staff and clients could feel at ease.
Jodie was very attuned to our needs. She created a design that was modern, relaxing and most importantly functional.
In all my dealings with Jodie, I found her to be reliable, honest and very upfront about her charges. She encouraged us to become involved in project management to minimise costs. She ordered all our furniture and fittings and was able to negotiate competitive prices through suppliers she regularly dealt with.
We are thrilled with the final result and have received outstanding feedback from staff and clients about our beautiful work environment.

When my husband and I decided to renovate, the design process was more challenging than I anticipated. Then came decisions around colours and materials, and it was simply overwhelming. At that point, I thought we need help!
After some searching on Houzz, I came across Jodie's details and was immediately drawn to her style. After a short consultation, we were able to quickly narrow down our choices to a couple of options. Jodie followed up with samples and we made decisions on benchtop colours, kitchen cabinets, splashback, as well as internal flooring and the deck outside. I couldn't believe how easy the process became with her help and I certainly felt confident we were on the right path. It saved hours of looking at photos and deciding on a style. Also, the way Jodie presented our final choices made it very clear for our kitchen designer and builder to source materials.
A few months on, we are loving our renovation and the way everything came together. I would highly recommend Jodie for her great style, professionalism and advice. read less - helend29

With a tight budget, was able to provide solutions to meet budget, with alternatives to add onto over time to help complete the project. Jodie is calm and easy to get along with, not pushy, and accepted input from myself to work around. Some bold patterns and suggestions I would not have considered until seen together that worked well from room to room. She was able to follow up and email me updates for goods ordered by herself for the project and give me estimated times of delivery, with easy delivery options. From her suggestions I was also able to order online myself or pick up goods from stores to save costs. read less

We've worked with Jodie twice now, once on a 4 bdrm Penthouse apartment, built from scratch, which was ultra modern, styled to New York Penthouse, and most recently, a complete renovation of the interiors of a 2 storey, 4bdrm + study Federation home, styled to Hollywood Regency.
Both times Jodie led the design direction, but was open to our input, as after all, we were to be living in these homes.
We couldn't have been happier with the outcome of both projects and highly recommend Jodie to anyone considering using an Interior Designer. read lessfreda2002After searching the internet, i contacted Jodie to assist us with her design and decorating experience in bringing together a classic and fresh look to our home.

We have a old period home with a modern extension toward the back of the home. My goal was to combine the old with the new bringing about flow and consistency throughout the home. Jodie got it from the start with a professional attitude and willingness to listen to what I wanted. After our first meeting I knew that Jodie was passionate about her craft, very professional and that I would be able to work with her. Her calm approach and gently persuasion opens your mind to a whole new world of colour and style. The mood boards were the start putting it all together towards the bigger picture. Jodie and I worked together for about one year and I very much enjoyed the experience, she is good fun and works diligently to meet deadlines. In the end the goal was achieved, with a combination of classic elegance creating a warm and welcoming home to be admired and enjoyed by our family and friends. read less

My study was the junk room and Jodie has changed it to a space that I love to work in.
The new furniture and shelves Jodie suggested are perfect and the addition of prints on the wall, a rug and items on the shelves just bring it all together. This is the first room Jodie has started with a blank canvas and everything she chose down to the desk trays and folders are perfect.. I saw my chair on The block! Good choice!

Then you walk into the next home and it's fantastic too, but styled completely differently. You love the look of each place and start jotting down ideas from each.
Don't be fooled into thinking that a truckload of fantastic furniture has been walked into these houses and randomly scattered throughout the house. Each house has been individually styled by a professional and the styling starts all the way from the paintwork and tiles through to furnishings, light fittings, artwork and those ornaments that your kids love picking up in the bowls on the coffee table.
The trick is making it all work and this is why we used Jodie. You need someone to bring it all together otherwise all those ideas in your head are going to make your house look like a Pro Hart exhibition.
We are building a new house so really wanted to get it right and that means getting the foundations right, as those materials you use as your base are going to be there for a long time!
Jodie did exactly what we thought was impossible...Bring our random ideas of a modern/contemporary look including raw concrete and timber and made it work in such a way that as soon as we saw the options before us, my wife and I were both drawn to the same option in an instant both wearing a huge smile.
We are looking forward to posting photos once the house is complete, and will continue to work with Jodie to get the interior furnished which is going to be very exciting. read lesswallylf73When my family moved into our new (old) home it was a blank canvas.

Jodie was recommended to us by a close friend and she far exceeded all our expectations.
Jodie is an absolute delight to deal with - her high level of professionalism is reflected in all areas. She is very easy & pleasant to communicate with. For over one year, we were in constant (pretty much daily) communication with Jodie in the planning stage. No details were left uncovered and the result is a near 100 page fully detailed plan. These were completed within our planned time period.
Jodie helped us realized our dream home by actively matching & improvising our needs & desires from the way we live in the old home to a new sophisticated stylish modern living. Many designers design “their” house. Jodie designed “our” house - the way “we” live while maintaining design principles and theme throughout. A remarkable feat indeed.
Our project started on 9 July 2018 and finished on 26 Oct 2018 when we were handed the keys back for our house - one week of delay due to the torrential rain around mid-Oct. Jodie worked well & closely with our builder and our home was completed pretty much on time with a high level of quality. The high standard is maintained throughout and quality service has continued even on post completion where the usual minor adjustments/details are required.
We highly recommend Jodie to anyone contemplating renovation - big or small. Thank you Jodie. In the end, not only did we gain a new home but a valuable friend.

After 18 years and 2 kids our house was looking a bit worn out and dated, but since Jodie became involved it has been refreshed, revitalised and modernised. She is a pleasure to work with, listens to your needs and wants, and works with your budget. She pushes you out of your comfort zone if required which is a good thing! I wish I had known years ago of the advantages of using an interior designer; they have access to furniture that is not normally available to the public and hence with a more unique look/vibe than what is available in stores open to the public. I also believe purchasing with or through her made significant cost savings due to the discounts she can get as a designer. I highly recommend her and am in fact looking forward to the next project we will tackle with her! Can't recommend her highly enough. read less

I knew I wanted to put my own mark on the property but not having any contacts in the area, I asked around. Jodie's name was quickly mentioned several times - so I gave her a call to start the ball rolling.
I was instantly impressed by Jodies warm approach, as she took the time to understand me, my likes and dislikes and ideas I had in mind for the property. Jodie came up with some beautiful designs & styling which quickly elevated the final results.
From a business perspective I was very impressed at how responsive she was, answering all emails and calls very promptly. Once we narrowed down the choices, the top 2 or 3 were then summarised into a spreadsheet, which meant I knew every detail about the selections at a glance. Colour, dimensions, cost and delivery dates were all clearly outlined making it very easy to keep track everything. Brilliant for our busy lifestyles. Furthermore, I was impressed by her generous business model of passing on trade prices for all the furniture, artwork, rugs and decorator items you purchase as part of the project. Double bonus ! as this helps to stick to your budget easily.
So far we've completed stage 1 of our project and I have no hesitation in hiring Jodie and her team again to move forward with stage 2. read less - Tulasi Baskaran
