Welcome!
I’m Courtney, your dedicated interior designer specialising in homes from the Mornington Peninsula.
With a lifetime of experience in design—from internationally recognised event activations to a past life as a qualified silversmith—I bring a comprehensive skill set to your project. My expertise spans scale, materiality, technical know-how, design finesse, and project management, ensuring your home is in safe hands.
I’m passionate about transforming homes into functional, beautiful, and sustainable spaces. My approach focuses on enhancing your existing footprint to create a harmonious and efficient living environment. By considering the existing architecture of your home, orientation, current and future use, and the integration of house and garden, I strive to maximise space and optimise your home’s efficiency through sustainable design practices.
Specialising in kitchen, bathroom, and laundry renovations, along with bespoke joinery design, I offer a confident approach to ensuring a successful, one-of-a-kind transformation for your home.
Located in Frankston, within the stunning Mornington Peninsula, I rejuvenate homes from the 60s to today.
Whether your home needs a touch of TLC or a complete transformation, I am here to guide you through a seamless and enjoyable design journey.
Let’s elevate your home together.
Our Approach.
Frankston and the surrounding suburbs of the Mornington Peninsula have always been an untouched pocket. Old brick homes, leafy hills, coastal views; it has everything going for it. There are so many brilliant homes waiting for renovations, but few designers that can give them what they need. A love for nature, older homes, eclectic interiors, sustainability and the suburb she's called home with her family; it's a niche that Courtney can proudly claim as her own.
Courtney works with clients to understand their needs, their current and future requirements, to design functional homes that work now and in twenty years. They don't feel like someone else's home and they reduce impact on the environment wherever possible. Courtney is here to guide and educate her audience and to prove that good, sustainable design is accessible for everyone. She's here to help her clients realise they don't need the perfect house to have the perfect home.
Courtney works to ensure her designs grow with our ever-changing needs as our families grow, as our careers shift, or our lifestyle changes. We've become accustomed to moving homes, tearing down structurally sound homes or living in spaces that make us frustrated, rather than developing the spaces we have to work with.
Courtney brings both corporate and life experience to every project, with an empathetic, calm and approachable style. She works to explore client options with consideration for their lifestyle, family, environment and style to create a home that is uniquely them. With a genuine passion for the local area and a desire to see people choose to stay in and nuture their homes for a long time, she will transform your home with solution focused design.
The end goal - to create homes that last for future generations.
