I love using my knowledge and skills to create vibrant, sophisticated and intelligent solutions to overcome design problems. After traveling to London, Paris and New York, I saw what could be done in both commercial and residential small spaces and can specialise in helping clients make the most of their properties - no matter the size. It is so rewarding to be able to see the value of investing in good interior design as I help clients to not only find contemporary solutions to their problems but also create stunning spaces and provide innovative products they can be proud of, enjoy and that enhance their lives.

ANDREW CARBERY

Studio Manager & Senior Interior Designer

● NZ Certificate in Architectural Draughting

Using my almost three decades of experience in the architecture & design industry, my role as Studio Manager is to guide the team, supporting them to excel in communication, documentation & design.

Working collaboratively with the Designer and Project Manager to bring the client’s vision to life, I take pride in knowing that our clients are receiving a resolved, clear and precise design, that should out live the tenant’s lease or owner’s needs.

Using ideas that influenced me while living in Europe, I strive for designs that are enduring, sustainable and functional.

● Diploma in Applied Interior Design, Unitec
● Diploma in Kitchen Design, NKBA

I have a passion for delivering functional designs that will have a positive impact on people when they enter their space. I believe that good interior design evokes happiness, inspires and should utilise all the space to achieve a practical, yet desirable home or workplace.

Creating timeless, biophilic and practical designs is my passion, and I love seeing the designs transition from computer screen images to really inspiring spaces. Building relationships and working closely with clients and tradespeople to create a functional and beautifully designed space is something I really enjoy.

Designing a functional and aesthetically pleasing space is rewarding when seeing the positive effect it has on a person's life. I love the philosophy of a building, how a space can influence how we feel and how through good design we can utilize that and enhance our living.

Building relationships, exploring possibilities of design together, and seeing the design come to life is an enjoyable and exciting experience to be a part of.

● Bachelor of Architecture (BAS), Major: Interior Architecture, Wellington
● Yoobee Design Course, Auckland

I get inspired by creating spaces that individuals are able to enter and experience that “wow” factor. I love the challenge of incorporating functional yet aesthetic interiors, to design the best possible outcome. I believe that our frame of mind is deeply affected by the spaces we surround ourselves in, and for that reason I’ve always had my eye on detail in every space I visit.

I get excited by new products and finishes that allow my knowledge to extend on the ever changing trends within interiors! I consider great communication and establishing good relationships with clients and tradespeople as extremely important, as I believe that this is one of the key parts to following through with a successful project.

RACHEL HOGAN

Project Manager

● Diploma of Interior Design

Design has always been a passion of mine. After completing a Diploma in Interior Design I developed an insight into the design industry working within procurement and project coordination. This has provided me with a good understanding of all stages of design as well as providing strong project coordination which I believe is the backbone of project quality. I bring a creative and friendly approach to my role to help the client deliver each and every project through to completion on time and on budget. My work ethic and associated successes has been established by meeting targets and expectations set by both internal and external stakeholders. I have a strong emphasis on building and maintaining relationships with the different trades and growing my skills within the construction industry.
