What do we do?

---

I work in two ways.

* I work one-on-one with individuals and brands to create their unique retail and hospitality spaces, including commercial kitchens.

* I also contract to architects and designers and other industry professionals in need of a documentation-savvy interior designer.

INDIVIDUAL AND BRAND SERVICES

Each project requires a slightly different approach. To ensure that I  can tailor my work to your needs efficiently, it’s probably best that  we have a chat on the phone or meet and discuss what you would like to  achieve. Even if you are not sure exactly what you want to do, the right  questions will soon help clarify where you want to go.

We offer the full range of interior design services to our clients,  from simple colour consulting to detailed drawings for leasing and  council approval, whether this be a retail shop or larger project. Some  examples of what we can do are:

• Colour consulting
• Finishes Boards
• Sketch Design – getting your ideas down on paper. This includes  floor plan layouts, elevations, lighting, furniture and fabric selection  etc
• Concept Design Documents you can use to showcase your vision and win your lease
• Documentation Drawings suitable for Planning and Building Permit Approval from Council
• Fully certified Design and Documentation Packages in 3D with  Planning Approval and Building Permits suitable for handing to a builder

CONTRACT AND DOCUMENTATION SERVICES

Do you own your own design business but need someone who can document your designs and ideas?

I contract to architects and designers, providing documentation  services from simple shop front elevations and leasing modification  drawings to full scale BIM ready documentation for construction  purposes, liaising with you to resolve any design issues as they arise. I  use Revit (3D) Architecture to provide a premium product for your  needs.

 Please note that due to the nature of contract work, we cannot show a portfolio here. Please contact Kelli to discuss brands we work with

Are you weary of trying to find someone who  genuinely loves what they do and can put that passion to work for your  benefit? Do you need someone with an eye for detail who can provide  consistent, quality work? Are you ready to work with someone who will  listen to what you are really saying?

I am a down to earth, highly dedicated and professional Interior  Designer. I love my work and take pride in doing it well. I firmly  believe that my creativity, resourcefulness & attention to detail  provide my clients with best practice design solutions.

With previous careers in both science research and primary school  teaching, I find commercial interior design is the perfect mix of creativity and  logic – so I don’t feel like this is ‘work’.

Let me take that weight off your shoulders and let’s get your vision happening!

Scott Marsh - General Manager of The Lucky Charm

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Kelli since 2014 on the design of our stores across Australia. Her exceptional eye for detail and thorough documentation have consistently helped us avoid costly on-site errors. Kelli is a true professional—easy to collaborate with and highly responsive to the unique requirements of each new tenancy. She adapts her designs seamlessly to reflect our evolving brand vision, ensuring each store feels fresh while staying true to our identity.

John and Enza – The Edge of Sahara – Northbridge

Kelli was instrumental to the setup of our café. She made sure the  limited space we had would be visually attractive and also functional.  Her knowledge  on council matters made sure we went about things in  the  right way and she  was quick to follow up on any questions from  us. Kelli made sure that our ideas were worked in to the design and  provided innovative ideas on style and building materials. True  Interiors provided us with professional prompt service from concept to  completion.

James and Deborah – Swan Valley

We met Kelli when we were in the process of setting up our Café  Restaurant in the Swan Valley. Kelli impressed us with her ability to  listen and interpret our dreams and nothing was too much for her as she  took on our project as if it was her own. We were amazed at the concepts  and visualisations which were very now and cutting edge. It was a  pleasure working with Kelli and we have no hesitation in recommending  her services as we believe she is really wonderful person, with lots of  passion for her art.
