The future is here. It is estimated that by 2020 40% of the workforce will be freelance.*

This will be no different in the interior design world. Imagine an industry where designers were no longer hired as full time employees but instead project based.... could this be the answer to lowering running costs of design studios and also allow young designers the creative freedom to work for themselves, and achieve the work/life balance they are searching for.

Starting a freelance career can be scary. I know, I did it at 24 years old. But what if I told you that you CAN take on that private project, and I will be there beside you every step of the way.

From pitching and pricing to design and documentation advice. You don’t have to do this alone.

No other business coach can help you set up an interior design business and support you during the first year of your freelance career like I can.

With more than 16 years experience as a freelance designer designing commercial, medical, retail, hospitality and high end residential projects, and almost 6 years as an educator at Sydney Design School, I have some inspirational projects in my portfolio and a lot of wisdom to impart mentoring the next great Australian designers.

I am an Interior Designer, Educator and Co-Founder of Designative. With close to 20 years experience as a freelance designer working on a variety of commercial, and high end residential projects, and a decade as an educator at Sydney Design School, I have some inspirational projects in my portfolio and a lot of wisdom to impart on client project and the design community alike.

I am crazy passionate about watching emerging designers develop skill sets that allows them to express their own unique creativity.

Recently I've been working on combining my experience and knowledge as a freelance designer and passion for education to support emerging designers launch their own freelance career.

Designative was born from seeing a gap in the current creative community. The aim is to connect freelance designers with other creatives and business support. To share knowledge, resources and nurture collaboration when setting up and growing a freelance business, so they can take control of their career and design a life they love.
