Being a single dad, time poor, and in clear need of design expertise, Jodie has been able to meet these needs and more with a minimum of fuss.

Based on Jodie’s website and the reviews that she received, I decided to contact Jodie. I was quite nervous as I had never used an Interior designer before and wondered if this was going to be a waste of time and money in our already tight budget. Fortunately, I had nothing to fear. Jodie put me at ease, was punctual and efficient with the time that we had. She was able to get my thoughts onto paper and with her additional suggestions we now had a design for the wall cupboard that not only looked great but saved us money. I would definitely use her again read less

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

She is an exceptional designer with so much creativity and brilliance. Jodie also has an ability to create, design and transform any project we work on together and always exceeds my expectations.

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

Awesome job Jodie.
Thanks for helping us solve a complex design challenge. We love our new lounge/TV cabinet. We appreciated your patience, professionalism and can do attitude.

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

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

The design had to include a kitchen island and walk in pantry and allow flow to the external area. The design from Jodie, will allow the area to be well utilised and allow space for a family of 5 to all be in the same location. The space has been well used to allow a large island, plenty of bench space & additional storage which the house was lacking. Overall the recommended finishes and design will have the "wow" factor. read less

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.

I had contacted a number of designers from Houzz as well as from friends' recommendations. I spent a lot of time interviewing them and hearing their suggestions. Eventually, I had chosen Jodie. The project took about 10 months from design to completion with a budget about A$250k. As I am overseas in Hong Kong, I have to rely on Jodie to do all the minor details of everything for me. Apart from controlling the budget, I have given her almost a free hand from design to completion. When I saw the decorated apartment, it was exactly how I envisioned and better. We had a lot of communications at all stages of the project, which I think is a very important factor of success in this project. I would recommend Jodie to all her prospective clients as I am so fortunate to have her in designing, supervising and selecting accessories for the apartment. read less

Enter Jodie. With a modest budget she was able to transform our house into a home we love. She followed our brief to a tee while introducing us to new ideas that we thoroughly embraced. She refurbished the main living and dining areas as well as providing advice on paint colours, decor, and furniture in other areas of our house to create a cohesive look in the classic Hamptons style that we love. Jodie was always reliable, promptly responded to our endless queries and was able to deal with any issues that arose with no fuss.

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.
I have already recommended Jodie to my hairdresser and would happily recommend her to anyone. read less

Being based overseas, it was essential that this designer had a proven ability to deliver a start to finish solution for what ultimately was a quite new / modern apartment.

With a considerable lead time and having trolled through many a website, we engaged Jodie and her team and could not be any happier with what she has produced for us. What was initially a limited brief ended up seeing us give Jodie a lot of creative breadth to which she transformed an empty apartment into a modern home that comprised integrated and stylish cabinetry, furnishings, media, accessories and other.

Jodie truly delivered on her commitment to provide an end to end solution. From the initial design and concepts through to sourcing contractor and supplier quotes, project management and sourcing all of the furnishings, Jodie provided regular updates and photos throughout the various phases of the project which provided us with a great level of comfort. She even sorted out the Telco and made the beds for us much to the delight of 2 tired young children.

Very much the professional and a delight to work with, we would have no hesitation in recommending Jodie and her team. read less

I have worked with Jodie on a number of projects over the years and have always found her to be highly creative and very professional. Always a pleasure to work with!

Jodie is an absolute pleasure to work with as she is very professional, responds in a timely manner and is very talented. Jodie transformed my tiny apartment into a masterpiece! I will definitely recommend Jodie to my friends and family and look forward to continue working with her in the future.

What a positive experience this was. She achieved everything we had asked for and more. She is an amazing communicator and also totally “gets” what your dream might be even if you can’t totally imagine it yourself!

We started with a project that involved creating an extra bedroom in an existing space and we had also asked for complete new furnishings for this home we had just purchased. We ended up expanding the project a bit and a bit more and what a great result we have.

Jodie’s vision for our home combined with her understanding of how we live resulted in a home that exceeded all expectations. She project managed at my request and sourced the builder and cabinetmaker for us. They all worked so well together resulting in the project being completed on time (actually 2 weeks ahead of schedule). There was always open communication between all of us and Jodie organised regular site meeting. It was seamless and drama free.

We went shopping with Jodie to choose furniture and she was always mindful of cost and practicality for us. Furniture was ordered and delivered on time and she had the house ready for us to move into including the linen on beds (beds made), artwork on walls, and decorations in place.

Jodie is a pleasure and delight to work with and I cannot wait to continue to work with her in the future for a new kitchen and outdoor design. I would also absolutely work with the builders and trades she recommends.

Thank you Jodie for creating my wonderful family home. 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 less
