How long have you lived in Central Otago?

I've lived here for over 10 years.

What's the best thing about living in this region?

The lakes, the mountains and definitely the people who I enjoy working with and for.

What are your favourite local activities?

Being in the great outdoors whether it be boating, hiking or jumping on my mountain bike.

What's your professional passion?

I love all aspects of home renovating, choosing the perfect curtains and wallpapers for clients to match their lifestyle and existing decor. I'm especially loving the bold bright wallpapers which are trending at the moment. These are mood changes as well as room changers.

What's trending right now?

Floral wallpaper feature walls in navy and forest green.

What's the one piece of decorating advice you would give?

Don't be afraid of colour. Even 'pops' of colour can give a room a huge lift and the beauty of any trend is it can be changed easily and without breaking the bank when you're ready for a new look.
