Michelle

Senior Interior Design
Founder of Hamptons Design Co.

 

I believe a person can only be taught design to a certain extent, the rest relies on a natural talent from within.

I have always had an eye and passion for buying and selling real estate. My primary focus has been on interior design, construction, and management of both commercial hospitality projects, as well as multiple multi-million-dollar coastal beachfront homes along the Eastern Australian seaboard. My goal and challenge was to always increase the value of a property to maximise it's potential and profit. The highest price for a residential home selling for a cool 17 million after it was redesigned within 12 months, reached a profit margin of 4 million dollars.

Over the years I have had extensive experience not only in building and designing award winning venues, but more importantly, I have had experience in managing and overseeing them as well. The knowledge of understanding a venue's important functionalities, initiates a significant edge to the majority of designers when it comes to a good commercial design and what is needed.

Returning to study modern day interior design some years ago and my extensive experience has taught me not only the importance of well organised, prior planning for a project, but also about the significance of having a highly efficent and hard working team behind you.

My team at Hamptons Design Co have been individually selected because they excel in their field.
