Guided by this passion and with over 20+ years experience, I make intuitive design decisions that consider function and aesthetics in equal measure.
Whether it’s diving deep into the evolving needs and priorities of a family or tapping into the brand behind a business, I put experience first.
And that means designing spaces that put connections front and centre.
Design your home with meDesign your business with meAs a mother to two beautiful boys, I began to appreciate my home on another level. It became a place where we could make memories and regroup as a family, and a safe sanctuary we could return to when life got wild.
During those early days of motherhood, I found myself facing a bowel cancer diagnosis and a rare skin condition called vitiligo (which caused patchy loss of skin colouring on my body).
It was throughout this healing process that I really took notice of the spaces that surrounded me. From surgeries to waiting rooms, wellness studios to the ICU, those environments had a profound impact on how I felt throughout a fairly tumultuous time in my life.
These experiences showed me how our physical spaces end up being the backdrop to the important moments of our lives.
It also showed me how they actively shape our lives; they evoke feelings within us and are powerfully experiential.
i.Balter Design supported us through drafting the plans, selecting colours and materials, and paying close attention to many areas that may have otherwise been overlooked.
The result has been great. The colour scheme is fantastic and the rooms now have such a good feel about them.”
