welcome
If you are searching for a design consultant and draftsman in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, I offer extensive experience in interior design and decoration. Employing a meticulous approach, I handle every project with attention to detail and a commitment to delivering quality customer service.
Expertise in Interior Design Process: From initial planning to material selection and overseeing the implementation of designs and furnishings, I navigate the entire design process. My proficiency extends to utilising AutoCAD, enabling me to produce precise and accurate floor plans and elevations for diverse projects.
International Background in Swimming Pool Design: Before calling Sydney home, I worked as a consultant for swimming pool design in Vancouver, Canada. Collaborating with renowned architecture firms, contractors, and builders in both Canada and the US, I honed my expertise in technical aspects of swimming pool design and construction. My exceptional interpersonal skills facilitated effective communication with clients and team members.
Education and Career Growth in Sydney: Relocating to Sydney in 2011 opened new horizons for my career in interior design. I completed two diplomas in the field – one in interior styling and one in interior design. My interior styling education delved into the elements and principles of decorating and transforming existing spaces. Meanwhile, my interior design education covered a broad spectrum, including client brief and project management, spatial planning, joinery, architectural history, AutoCAD, specifications and scheduling, perspective drawing and rendering, lighting, sustainable design, and an in-depth exploration of color theory.
My specialised study of color theory has equipped me with a profound understanding of how colors influence emotions, perceptions, and the overall atmosphere of a space. This expertise allows me to create harmonious and visually compelling designs that resonate with the unique preferences and lifestyle of each client. Whether it's selecting the perfect color palette to evoke a sense of tranquility or using bold hues to make a statement, my proficiency in color theory enhances every facet of my interior design practice.
I am committed to transforming your vision into reality. Whether it's a residential or commercial project, my passion for design, coupled with years of experience, ensures your space reflects your unique style and functional needs.

“We appreciated Donna’s ability to listen to our needs, incorporate current items and look with a professional eye at what was possible.
