NZ's Visionary Kitchen & Interior Designer

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!

Relationship

Client

Our kitchen is only 40-50% complete and we are already blown away by Tracey's energy and approach to delivering on the kitchen that she has so carefully designed with us. Every interaction with Tracey is productive (with a good dose of fun) and at every step of the way, she has asked questions that has helped everyone involved, communicate exactly what is required of the space being designed. While we went into this project with many ideas from other dream kitchens, we can now see that Tracey has designed OUR dream kitchen - beautiful yet functional and perfect for us as a samoan family who love to cook for and host our family and friends. While we have two weeks to go until our kitchen is complete, we cannot wait to see and share the finished product. Thank you Tracey! We are happy to recommend you to everyone that we know.

Comment from TSdesigns - Kitchen Broker & Interior Designer:

To say working with Trudy has been a fantastic journey is a complete understatement. I didn’t know Trudy beforehand and now feel like part of her family. She is the most beautiful, kind hearted soul, appreciative, and is gifted with an incredibly amazing aurora. This has hand on heart been a project where I am coming away feeling like the lucky one. Thank you Trudy for being the most yummy Samoan Twinkle in my Heart xx

Tracey was amazing. She spent time with us to determine our must haves and did several designs to show us what we could have in our existing space.... Then she did several more designs working on our favorite. She made lots of suggestions but also kept in mind what we wanted and let us make our own decisions. We have gone from a kitchen that did not work functionally to a very functional kitchen with a brilliant use of space & I got all my must haves. Visitors cant believe how great the overall design and layout is and her advise on colors and other design aspects was invaluable. We totally recommend Tracey

We are delighted with our transformed kitchen and laundry, both designed by Tracey. Her vision for both spaces and presentation of her ideas was an eye-opener for me. I knew I wanted bush colour cabinetry in the kitchen with black Neolith (stone) tops ... and lots of drawers. Tracey's design winners are : a huge island, two pantries, plenty of drawers and the black mirror splashback !!! The kitchen is very functional, spacious, a delight to work in ... and much admired. Tracey was a pleasure to work with - she is professional, enthusiastic, helpful and goes the extra mile. She has my highest recommendation.

Comment from TSdesigns - Kitchen Broker & Interior Designer:

What wonderful and very kind words Danae, thank you so very much. I love that you were prepared to step outside the comfort zone in your colours and it works perfectly for your location in bringing the outside /inside. I thoroughly enjoyed working with you, my absolute pleasure.

We came to Tracey with what we thought were some great ideas. Tracey turned them upside down and recreated a space that utilised our home in a way that we hadn't even thought off. Our kitchen space is now a stunning area and is much more than we had envisioned. The joiners she recommended have been superb and we are over the moon with our kitchen! Go Tracey!

Tracey is really friendly and great to deal with. She gave us some different design options and was happy to go with what we wanted, she wasn't pushy about anything. She told us about different ways to configure the cabinetry so that we had plenty of options to think about and decide what would best suit the space and our lifestyle. We're really pleased with how it has turned out and it's just what we wanted - a fresh modern kitchen using the same footprint so that we didn't have to replace the flooring. People think it's a lot bigger - but it's exactly the same size as it was before!

We have been so appreciative to have you help formulate plans to renovate the kitchen, bathroom and ensuite of our tricky old home brimming with difficult spaces. You created options we hadn't even considered after a decade of living here! You've been amazing, flexible and thoughtful in your ideas, and incorporating our own notions (for better or worse) into the design plans :) A vibrant creative personality who clearly enjoys a design challenge and has a wealth of practical knowledge. Thanks so much and looking forward to continuing the journey with you into the next stage of the renos.

Tracey was great to work with in the design of our Kitchen and made it a very pleasureable experience. She had great ideas, listened to what we were wanting and offered great options and talked/worked through each concept. The final product has come out outastanding and we are very happy with it. Even took the time to help us out with other alterations we were working on. Thanks for a great job Tracey.

We were introduced to Tracey through our cabinet maker Benn (NZ Cabinet Maker). She was friendly, professional, accessible and really knew her stuff. She took our ideas and turned them into great options for a family orientated, functional kitchen with longevity and was able to incorporate the little things we were really set on, and even more. The end result is a huge kitchen (it's hard to believe it was in the same space as our old, small and dark kitchen), which accommodates a busy family with teens, their friends, extended family all in one space as a food preparation and entertainment area. We're all thrilled with it. Looking forward to summer when the rest of our renovations will take place, and being able to open up the doors onto the deck for an extended living area and entertainment space off the kitchen too. Thanks Tracey for all your hard work, and great ideas. Would highly recommend you (and have) to others.

Working with Tracey to transform our kitchen was a pleasant experience as she listened to our requirements and readily came up with suggestions for us to ponder. Her flair and practical ideas were evident in the options that were presented to us. We had confidence in Tracey from the initial meeting with her. Tracey communicated with us regularly and kept us updated at all times. Her recommendation of Ben from NZ Cabinetmakers was much appreciated. It was a pleasure having him make and install the kitchen cabinets. a great combination! Thankyou Tracey and Ben.

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!

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.

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 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.

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.
