I spent my childhood years on the beautiful Chatham Islands in New Zealand. After enjoying island life, I moved overseas to Australia with my family. Once I finished high school, I worked in a variety of roles in both the food and construction industries.

After 17 years, I returned home to the sun and surf of Christchurch to take up an opportunity to expand my skills and knowledge and, to be closer to family.

In my spare time, I enjoy weekend BBQs with friends, getting out to the water and learning through new experiences.

Sherrie Thompson

My Name is Sherrie Thompson and I’m the Interior Design Lead.

Covering the Central Plateau area, I strive to create a style that matches the aspirations you have for your home, office space or place of work.

I am passionate about creating beautiful spaces that reflect who you are and how your family lives. From custom furniture design, to material selection, to renovations and new builds. I design solutions that will transform your space to not only look beautiful but which will also meet all your practical requirements for day to day living.

I work closely with our architects, builders and landscape designers to ensure a cohesive design that minimises your time output, or enables you to be as involved as you like in the process.

I can work with the special pieces you already own and tie these together with carefully selected pieces, adhering to your budget and time constraints or start from scratch to build a collection of lovely pieces to turn a house into a home.

I love what I do and look forward to taking future clients on the journey where considered design is the process and living is the product.
