ABOUT ME

I’ve spent more than a decade working across the hair and beauty industry, with experience spanning salon operations, business development, salon furniture, and interior design. I began my career on the salon floor, where I developed a deep understanding of the stylist client relationship and saw firsthand how thoughtful, functional design can transform both workflow and client experience.

I later had the opportunity to lead and grow the New Zealand division of a major international salon furniture brand, where I became known for my strong design eye, industry knowledge, and passion for helping salon owners create spaces that are both beautiful and commercially successful. Through this role, I worked closely with salons across New Zealand on layouts, planning, and custom furniture solutions.

That experience inspired me to launch Salon Design Solutions, a business dedicated to transforming hair salons, beauty clinics, barbers, and spa spaces across New Zealand. I combine creative vision with practical business strategy to design spaces that strengthen brand identity, improve functionality, and support long-term growth.

Today, I work closely with salon owners to provide expert guidance on interior design, layout planning, and full fit-out solutions — helping create spaces where both clients and teams thrive.
