With 30 years of hands-on experience in property renovation, I offer practical, honest and insightful talks on how to successfully manage renovation projects from start to finish - without overwhelm.
I’ve built my career not just on creating beautiful spaces, but on navigating the realities behind them — the decisions, the pressure, the unexpected challenges, and the responsibility of bringing everything together.
My story
My journey hasn’t been a straight line. Working in what has traditionally been a male-dominated industry, I’ve faced challenges, setbacks and moments that tested both my resilience and confidence. But those experiences didn’t hold me back — they shaped how I work today.
They’ve given me the ability to:
Stay calm under pressure
Make clear, confident decisions
Navigate complex projects with clarity
Lead teams and clients with trust and authority
That lived experience is what I bring into every project - and every talk.
What I speak About
My talks are grounded in real-life experience — not theory.
I cover:
How to manage a renovation project from start to finish
Avoiding costly mistakes and delays
Working with trades (and getting the best from them)
Planning projects to minimise disruption to daily life
Budget awareness and decision-making
Creating a clear vision for your space
and most importantly - how to approach your renovation with confidence.
Supporting Women in Property Projects
This is something I’m particularly passionate about.
Many women find themselves leading or managing renovation projects — whether in their own homes, investments, or developments — but often without the support or confidence they deserve.
I speak openly about:
Taking control of your project
Trusting your decisions
Communicating with trades and professionals
Feeling empowered rather than overwhelmed
Because you should feel confident in your space - and in the process of creating it.
Who I Speak To
Homeowners planning or undertaking renovations
Property investors and developers
Networking groups and business organisations
Women’s groups and empowerment events
Industry events and workshops
