"I worked with Karyn on a cottage renovation. Whilst it was a very challenging project being situated close to the sea, I thoroughly enjoyed working with Karyn because she balanced raw enthusiasm for the project and all the possibilities it holds with practical, down to earth realism. Ultimately, Karyn saved me significant funds by testing ideas with Kāpiti Council upfront so we did not invest time going down paths which would never have been approved and she fought valiantly on my behalf. I deeply value this. Her attention to detail is superb so that layouts are everyday practical, not just aesthetically pleasing (which as the client, I can get carried away with the latter to the detriment of the former). Critically, Karyn has a design art perspective which I saw in ideas that continuously surprised me, emphasising the original design whilst sympathetically being cohesive. I wholeheartedly recommend Karyn and will work with her again on another project.”

"Karyn designed a preliminary layout for our new home by the beach, considering our outdoorsy lifestyle and the need for a huge garage to house all our gear - and both cars!"
