About ME​

From the start I knew I was a lover of all things beautiful, from story book words to daydreaming in grassy fields and in the presence of beautiful indoors & outdoor art & decor. ​

I’ve always find myself surrounded by beautiful objects of art, and learned the appreciation of art at a young age, the thought, the technique, & the soul that goes into visually creating a piece. Each piece is a personal reflection of what stage or moment in time you find yourself.

I’ve always adored the different Art movements & how they attributed to the history of interior, a love for heritage & modern architecture, the love of textiles. All of this to visually forming an abode, one feels in content.

Growing up on a farm in the most beautiful Cape Heritage home, with most of the original details still intact to this day, such as the thicknesses of the walls, wooden doors & flooring, the ornate steel ceilings, the early 1900’s leaf copper detailed pendants, the fireplaces, the white washed limed barns and so much more… the appreciation of antiques definitely was engraved into my mind & working for a modern age architecture firm, has helped me create a sense of balance.

Our home has always been a home to others, holiday makers, evening suppers, a lot of planning to welcoming & hosting loved ones.

To this day working closely together with Eddie, my mentor since 2012, a certain aesthetic and taste has been developed, from sourcing products for Bespoke Design, as well as designing interiors for the high-end residential & commercial properties.

Growing in the design world & architecture, Nouveau is ready to take the next step alongside an amazing group of experienced & thinking out of the box team.

One could say my sense of style is more of contemporary aesthetic mixed with bold statements; organic moods & unpretentious – creating an oasis for one to escape in.

I believe style is always the mood you reflect.

Interiors are the backdrop of our everyday lives; a place to let go of our emotions & enhance ourselves in ordinary life.

In the matter of not only visually articulating our personality’s in our homes, it is the little things that matters most.

From taste to living, our little routines we find in soul & assembly, we can also create an abundance of expression,

Finding life more beautiful in the details makes the difference.

Wanting to share my passion for beautifully made things is where the thought started & to share content, from interiors, living, taste & style, inspired through life’s ordinary. After all the little & big things are the presence in your home.
