After ten years living in NYC, I am now running my own Auckland-based Studio Sio. We create hotels, restaurants, retail, workplaces, and more. Supplying interior and architectural design and consultancy services for Aotearoa New Zealand’s hospitality, commercial, and retail community.
Available to Mentor
Always happy to meet for a coffee! Mentors and informational interviews have helped me throughout my career and always happy to offer up my experience or a different perspective.
Looking For a Mentor
Now that I am running my own studio, always looking for other owners to trade stories about working in the New Zealand context, lead generation, and business growth best practices.
Showcase
Hotel Chelsea
Built in 1883, Hotel Chelsea is both a landmarked and SHPO protected historic building in NYC. Working for ownership directly, roles ranged from a senior designer for both architecture and interiors, to project manager of the onsite construction team. The hotel restoration and redesign required onsite redesign and direction daily, as each of the 200+ rooms required different preservation needs and design layouts.
