Creative thinking.
Hands-on building experience.
I love a home with a bit of history. The character, the quirks, even the awkward corners give me something to work with. My favourite part is finding ways to keep what you love about your home while making the everyday things work better. That extends outside too, creating spaces that feel connected to your home and the way you live.
My approach starts with listening: understanding your needs, defining what is not working and exploring practical solutions together. It is a way of working shaped by my background in helping people, and supported by a Bachelor of Business and a Master’s in Child Welfare.
And as you can see, I’m happy to get my hands dirty! I’ve pulled off tiles, worked on roofs and spent time on the tools. That practical experience comes with me when I’m designing, thinking through how things fit together, what’s achievable and how to turn an idea into something your builder can bring to life.

Solo or joint site visits
Stacey can meet you on site solo or jointly with your builder to discuss the existing home, your ideas and the project priorities.

Discuss a site visitBuilding approval coordination
If required, Snaz Designs can coordinate the building approval process with external consultants, using your builder’s preferred consultants or Stacey’s preferred consultants.
This can include coordination with a building certifier and engineer, development applications, soil reports and slope stability reports, as needed for your project.
External consultants provide their specialist advice and reports; the relevant certifier or authority determines approvals. Coordination is separately scoped and quoted, with consultant fees additional.
