NZ's Visionary Kitchen & Interior Designer

page_type: prop_plus_profile
Hi there, my name is Tracey and I have over 20 years of experience in the design industry! I got into this industry because I love working with amazing people and helping them create a space that is special and unique to them. My clients usually choose me because of my personality and my vision. I can see and feel existing spaces and have a clear vision of what I can turn them into. I listen to my clients and love giving them a design that is unique to them and outside of the box of traditional design. My favourite types of projects, and also one of my specialties, are renovations. I have worked with house plans, both new and old, for years and I thrive on opening up spaces to create better all-around living areas to suit each of my clients’ needs. I work nationwide across New Zealand and have worked on kitchens, renovations and interior design projects all across the country. The beauty of my work is that I work remotely and can take on a project anywhere, with a strong focus in both Wellington and Dunedin. One great thing about my company is that I have always run on referrals and repeat clients. I am straight to the point. My clients completely trust me and know that I will have their back no matter what. I treat every client as I want to be treated myself. My ethics are completely trusting as a designer and trusting in my clients' investments that their project will be everything they ever wanted. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to working with you on your next project. Let me help you transform your space into your dream home!

It's been a great experience working with Tracey on our kitchen renovation. Great communication with keeping us updated and fielding our questions. She is an expert and really knows what she's doing - we agreed that all the suggestions Tracey gave were spot on. We did shop around a bit to see what designs others were offering but decided to go with Tracey as she offered the best design (creative outside the box solution) at a reasonable price. Will definitely come back to Tracey if we ever have more renovation needs. Thanks so much, Tracey!

From start to finish Tracey was an absolute star! Her creative ideas and love for design inspired us and helped us design and build our dream kitchen. Tracey was open to our ideas, she listened and then with her amazing creativity we designed a dream kitchen. We then were very lucky to have Benn from NZ Cabinet Makers to build our kitchen and he too, was fantastic. His skills and LOVE for what he does sure shows through in his work. HIGHLy recommend.

Tracey helped me design my new kitchen from scratch. Tracey took the time to understand what I wanted and provided me with several different options. It took us a while to to get there but I am so pleased with the result! I could not have achieved the kitchen I wanted without Tracey and I would highly recommend her as someone works collaboratively and has great communication skills.

Tracey was easy to work with. She quickly gained an understanding of what we wanted and offered great advice about what would and wouldn't work. She was great with ideas and colours and obviously had fantastic knowledge about current trends. I would work with Tracey again and highly recommend her.

Tracey has been brilliant to deal with and I would have no hesitation in using her for future projects and recommending her to others. She is generous with her time and at no point have I felt rushed. Tracey is thorough, extremely personable, and is very easy to deal with. I look forward to seeing the completed kitchen and in working with Tracey on our next project.

We were struggling to find a kitchen design that excited us and by chance Tracey was recommended to us – thank goodness!. From the outset Tracey has been incredible to work with – she has listened to us carefully, gained insights about our family and used these to design a modern and functional kitchen and dining space for us all to enjoy. Tracey's enthusiasm, design genius and vision of the possibilities for our space have exceeded our expectations. A fantastic designer who we felt a strong connection with from the beginning and who we trusted implicitly throughout the process.

with the joy of moving into new home, comes the stress to get the work done. in comes Tracy to make it a smooth sailing. kitchen being an important room for us, both my wife and myself had few sessions with Tracy and zeroed in on a design. we are still in the process of sorting out stuff, but Tracey being with us clearly has boosted us, helped us and hopefully in few weeks when I write my second review we would have finished the work..

After devastatingly loosing my home in a house fire we had the chance to design a new kitchen. We got the help of Tracey to design our dream kitchen. With enough stress on our plates Tracey actually made this process seamless and enjoyable. She brought my dream kitchen to life and every step of the way we felt her passion and her care come through in her work. Our kitchen is now completed and is everything we ever wanted. The kitchen is the heart of the home, don't mess this step of your build up, get Tracey in to make it PERFECT like she did for US! xx

We worked with Tracey to help us design our kitchen, scullery and laundry. She spent time with us to understand what is it was that we wanted then took those ideas and gave us some great feedback and then really improved on them. The outcome for us is that we have got everything we wanted and more and it happened for us in a relaxed and friendly manner. Tracey did an outstanding job for us and we would happily recommend her to others.

We engaged Tracey to design our kitchen after we had met with numerous kitchen companies, many different designs and costs, (never apples for apples), we explained what we wanted and she provided us with many different option, explained why, what worked better, gave us drawings and a spec sheet, we could then send off to kitchen companies for quoting, they would all be quoting the same thing, We would have no hesitation in recommending Tracey.

If you are looking for someone to help with kitchen plans than look no further than Tracey. The plan Tracey came up with for our kitchen is incredibly functional and so well thought through. Her communication throughout the process has been excellent and you can really tell she loves what she does. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tracey.

Tracey, our kitchen designer and also our neighbour did a fabulous job of designing our kitchen. She thought outside the square and came up with innovative ideas to meet the needs of our family while working with limited space. Tracey’s engaging personality allows her to relate to a wide range of clients and made the process of designing our kitchen a positive and stress free experience.

We are in the early stages of planning a major renovation of our kitchen/living area. We didn't know where to start. Thankfully Tracey has entered the process! She is a force of nature and her enthusiasm for our project is infectious. Because she actually listened to us, the plan she has designed for our kitchen is functional, cool and in keeping with the style of our home.

Tracey drew up our kitchen and was very patient when we kept making changes. She is great at communicating and always offers to come over and go over the ideas in person. Such a reasonable price too. She is now getting kitchen quotes for us, with only a very very minimal charge due to all the changes I keep going back to her with. Thanks Trace!

Tracey was the designer hired for my beautiful new kitchen. From the moment she arrived to when she left I felt in good hands, she came up with a stunning idea that didn't cost the earth and that used my layout to the best and advantage. She has passion and flair I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing a smart designer. Thank You Tracey.

I first met Tracey when she started consulting at my work place as an interior designer for a housing company. Upon striking up a conversation with Tracey I found out she also did kitchen design which excited me as I was in the process of trying put together a new design for my home. Tracey exceeded my expectations and delivered a design which I hadn't even contemplated. It's now complete and I love it thanks Tracey you are awesome - love your work - I recommend you to homeowners looking for for flair and inspiration- brilliant!!

The redesigning of the kitchen at the Dog Training Centre by Tracey has been amazing. The staff have been eagerly watching the progress and the transformation which is way beyond expectation. The finished product is amazing. The colours used by Tracey have given us a very modern and fresh kitchen. I would trust Tracey 100% with any future project. Tracey has also had the overall design of a training room at the Dog Training Centre and this too is of a very high standard.
