"Have you remained on the same path you began, or have you steered much? Do you want to steer? 

I’ve pivoted a little bit – I’m leaning more towards the more technical aspects of design – like spatial planning, kitchen design, electrical plans etc. I really enjoy those parts – a lot more than choosing furniture/materials/colours for people. But I have a really great design consultant, Michelle Connelly Kelleher, working with me. She is also an IDAI graduate, and she loves that aspect of design – so we’re a great team – we both get to do the bits we like the most in our jobs.  "

"I wanted to thank you for your advice and guidance to date. We both really appreciate it. We love your ideas and suggestions and it's made us think outside the box! I ordered some of the F&B paint samples that you suggested and we love them! We feel so blessed to have found you and I know our new home is going to be stunningly beautiful because of you. "

"The consultation session with Michelle was excellent, so focused on how we use the space, what our style is and how to add warmth. The detailed report from Michelle was amazing, she captured what we needed and provided lots of ideas on how to create the look in each room.  "

"Sarah and Michelle were a joy to work with and were so responsive to all our questions. We are really pleased with their suggestions and look forward to getting started on our interior work!.  "

"Sarah is a great example of the career opportunities our graduates can enjoy and the dynamic and varied work that designers explore. The collaboration of Sarah and Michelle is living proof that while two people can do the same course in our academy, they have found their own individual niche and are thriving. They have also found each other, which is testament to the community generated in the academy and the camaraderie that can be found with like-minded people. "
