Hi, I’m Harry
I believe getting a project right from the start is key & that’s why I love sketch design!
Discovering what a client truly wants lifestyle-wise and matching that with a design (that surprises them!) AND fits their budget is the most exciting part of the job. For me, it’s the creative & collaborative process between Designer & Client that creates truly meaningful homes & a successful project, not just a perfectly polished insta photo
