Napier is a great city for travelling designers. As an Architect and Interior Designer the 1930s Art Deco city is fascinating.

Just finished another 3 busy days on my sister Jodys new house, cutting out and fitting final worktop pieces, learnt how to install laminate flooring, repainted every door and panel (now you can't tell old from new).

Amazing to think that this was an old kitchen Jody purchased off Trademe, with a few extra units from Bunnings, Mitre 10 etc, new worktops and appliances.

Teamwork surely makes the dream work! We've all learnt plenty and so impressed that this was all produced by our own hands! So happy to be part of making Jodys dreams a reality.

We've turned a space that had a water damaged kitchen with 1.5m of worktop, to a new kitchen with 6.1m of worktop. 🪜🛠🪛🪚

Still needs some skirtings, painting, an oven, extractor, possibly a microwave unit and some handles.

I thought I would do a post to show how small the world really can be, how flexible design can be as an industry and make travelling and your home destination unimportant (to a point).

My Uncle rang me end of 2019 while working in South Africa🇿🇦 (He lives in Gold Coast, Australia 🇭🇲) asking me to design him a Kitchen for his new holiday home in Governors Bay, ChCh, New Zealand 🇳🇿.

So from my laptop in Surrey, UK 🇬🇧 we conversed via WhatsApp, emails and phone calls until we came up with a final design and measurements he could send to China 🇨🇳 to get manufactured.

I am lucky enough to have escaped to NZ for a few months during the pandemic and spent Christmas in his newly built holiday home finished around Sept 2020. Really impressed with the builders work!

Fantastic to experience a kitchen I personally designed from the other side of the world. Now to finish my sisters and my mother-in-laws kitchen. Maybe I could properly make this freelance stuff a successful business. 🤔

(First photos are the real kitchen followed by the CAD Drawings)

This was the logo and business cards, come company identity we created back in February this year and since then we have become busier and busier. Such lovely feedback from Lavender and Lime Bakery.

If you require a new company identity with logo, busniess card, posters, fence signs, t-shirts, hoodies, mugs, pens etc we can deisgn it all.

I love it when a sign speaks directly to me. I love it even more when it's connected to an amazing piece of architecture.
