My mission is to guide, help and support more of you in a way that allows you to create the home or design business you love, that supports your lifestyle and allows you to love the way you’ve been dreaming of.
OUR PROGRAMS
I created Home Done Differently (my sister business) to offer online training and group programs to families that are building or renovating so that you can get the help and support you need without having to spend tens of thousands to spend on design fees.
For my amazing design businesses out there, I have created a mentor program for other design businesses to support you as you’re creating the design business of your dreams. This is what I wished was out there when I first started and I am sharing my 17+ years of experience and knowledge with you in this 6 month mentorship.
Follow the links below for more information on our programs.
For Families
I know that budget is a huge factor when you’re building or renovating your home and I also know how important it is to work with a design professional as you’re designing your home to make sure you’re making the right decisions, avoiding costly mistakes & invest your money in what truly matters for you & your family.
Home Done Differently was created in 2020 (I call it my covid baby) and my sole purpose is to help more families like yours get on the right track at the right time with the design of your home so you can avoid costly mistakes and waste time.
As a designer with over 17 years of experience designing family homes, time and time again families would come to me at the wrong time in their project and they have usually made some costly mistakes before they found me. I wished I had a magic wand so I could go back in time and show them what to do BEFORE they started designing and what to do as they moved through the design & construction process.
This is exactly what Home Done Differently does and is the most cost effective way to work with me or any other designer out there. You see, the value is in the face to face conversations, real time Q&A and having someone review your work as you make decisions. This is what I do inside my program The Forever Home Formula, where you can learn, attend fortnightly calls with me and the other members, have your questions answered and above all, make the right decisions for your home so you’re not wasting your hard earned money.
Pricing starts from $215/month (and holy moly this is less than the cost to jump on a 1 hour call with me)

For The Design Business Owner
If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone say that they wished they had known things sooner in their business, I would be one very rich woman.
In all serious though, I have been there, done it all and bought the T-shirt.
If you know me, you know that I am an open book. I have never been afraid to share how I run my business, what I charge, how I present my work or how much I make. I don’t do this to boast or show off, I do this to show other designers (aka YOU) that you don’t have to trade time for money, you don’t have to work 80 hours a week for minimum wage and you certainly don’t have to prescribe to an archaic industry standard of how to run a business and what to offer.
Having had my business for almost 9 years now, I can truly say that I have found the sweet spot and I know what they hell I am doing. While it hasn’t always been easy, and there have been times when I have dropped the ball and let many clients down, it’s these challenges and learning experiences that have helped me to create a business that I really love.
My business is booked out. I have online programs that are maxed out and my monthly income would make your heart skip a beat.
My secret is the connection I have with my MIND — BUSINESS — SPIRIT.
If you don’t have the right mindset, your business can’t flow and your spirit won’t reach all the amazing clients that are already out there waiting for you. Call me woo woo, call me strange but nothing can beat stepping into who you want to be, shedding all the crappy beliefs you’ve been carrying around, focussing on who you want to serve and watching the floodgates to the perfect clients open.
Launching in September 2023, I am going to be taking on 15 design businesses for our first live mentorship program where across 6 months I will help you create the business of your dreams that lets you do the work you want, with the people you want, earning the money you’re dreaming about.
if you want to join my waitlist and be the first to know when I launch, leave your email below. Pricing will start from $2,200 and will be 60% off the future mentorship as we work through this first round together.
From their mouths, not ours…
Helena’s personal style, product knowledge and attention to detail are second to none.
We’ve worked with numerous architects and interior designers over the years and now, helena is the only one that we trust to design our properties.
We look forward to a continued, exciting and inspirational working relationship with helena in the future.
— STEVEN R
Never again will I hesitate to work with an interior designer — or should I say Helena.
After working with an architect for 2 years, Helena took one look at our plans and transformed our home to work for our family. It was like magic.
Engaging her was the best investment we made in our home and I shudder to think how bad it would have been without her. You’re a star H.
— CHRIS J
We worked with helena to renovate our home after the arrival of our third child — we needed some more room to move.
The end result blew us away.
We’re so grateful that we found Helena and after working with her for over two years feel lucky enough to now call her a friend.
You better believe that if we are ever crazy enough to do this all again, she’ll be our first call.
