About Me

My Journey

Our family’s relocation from Cape Town to the Netherlands in 2014 marked the beginning of an unexpected design journey: what started as a personal renovation project soon revealed a deep appreciation for considered interiors and, ultimately, evolved into creating thoughtful, personalised spaces for others.

 

With an extensive background in exhibition coordination and client-focused roles, I bring a structured, detail-driven approach to every project.  Professional training with the National Design Academy of London formalised my skill set and refined my design perspective.

My Design Philosophy

I believe great design achieves a balance between form and function.  Rooted in minimalism as clarity rather than austerity, my work is defined by clean lines, thoughtful spatial planning, and a warm, understated atmosphere.

 

I have a particular affinity for compact homes, where precision and creativity are essential.  Regardless of size, each project is shaped by the people who live in it - your needs, your style, your story.  

 

My role is to listen carefully, guide thoughtfully, and bring a refined design sensibility that elevates everyday life.

My Approach

With professional training, hands-on experience, and industry affiliations (BNS Crisp/IN & BIID), I offer creative vision, practical expertise, and flexible service packages allowing for a tailored approach.  Working in English and Dutch, I bridge the gap between international clients and the local market.

 

Having relocated internationally myself, I understand the challenges - and opportunities - of creating a home in a new country.  I founded my Haarlem-based interior design studio to support clients who, like me, have started fresh in a new country and seek a home that reflects who they are, provides a sense of belonging and creates the space to put down new roots.

I love all the changes in the house.  
My living room is modern and bright and it’s a transformation from what it used to be.  

 

It seems like a bigger room due to the design choices Maxine made."
