Hi, I'm Malia - cabinetry nerd, builder translator, design partner.

You’ll work directly with me from concept to handover, with detailed drawings, visualisation tools, and calm, clear support every step of the way.

Discovery Questionnaire

You don’t always need to start from scratch.

This space already had some beautiful timber elements, so instead of removing them, we worked with what was there.

By layering in soft textures, muted tones, and gentle curves, we balanced the warmth of the timber and brought a fresh sense of calm to the space.

It’s all about finding the right balance between what’s existing and what’s needed.

Giving my own office a little refresh, because even designers need their space to work for them.

This corner has seen a lot of creative chaos, client calls, and quiet coffee-fuelled planning… but it was time for a reset.

Clean lines, natural textures, and a layout that feels lighter and more intentional. Sometimes the smallest changes make the biggest difference, especially in the spaces we spend the most time in.

It was nice to treat myself like a client for once!

Design in healthcare spaces isn’t just about making things look nice, it’s about how people feel when they walk through the door.

For patients, it’s often a space filled with nerves or uncertainty. For staff, it’s somewhere they spend hours every day. So the space needs to work, feel calm, and support the people who use it.

Thoughtful design helps reduce stress, create flow, and make things more comfortable, without anyone really noticing. That’s the goal.

Because when a space is designed well, everyone feels it.

Refresh incoming... and this one's going to feel so different.

We’re taking an existing space that felt a little dated and heavy, and giving it a whole new energy, lighter, calmer, more considered.

Can’t wait to show you how a few thoughtful changes can make a big impact.

Stay tuned!

Design documentation might not be the ‘pretty’ part, but it’s where the magic’s planned.

From tile choices to grout colours and layout details, every decision is captured clearly so nothing gets missed. For this bathroom and WC renovation, it’s all about soft textures, clean lines, and thoughtful contrasts that come together seamlessly.

Because a smooth build starts with strong foundations and yes, that includes the paperwork.

Want the confidence that comes with a clear plan? Let’s talk design documentation.

From concept to 2D plans to 3D renders, this bathroom renovation gets the full picture.

The brief? A contemporary coastal-inspired retreat with soft grey stone-look tiles, a pale timber vanity, and a hint of pale blue to bring that calm, seaside feel.

Through natural textures and a light, airy palette, we’ve created a space that feels grounded, serene, and effortlessly coastal, long before the first tile is laid.

Want to visualise your own renovation with clarity? Let’s bring your brief to life.
