Sustainability is the new black
My passion is for stunning architectural design incorporating smart living options with a focus on sustainability.
I love getting to know my customers - hearing their life stories, their motivation and their hopes for the future. This helps me understand their needs and desires when it comes to creating their dream home. I want to make sure every customer walks away from our meetings feeling welcome, informed and excited about their home!
Being part of McDonald Jones family, I relish the chance to be part of a transformative journey that changes lives. Witnessing the profound impact our homes have on families' lives is what truly ignites my passion. At McDonald Jones, we're not just building houses; we're creating sanctuaries where memories are woven, dreams are nurtured, and lives are shaped.
With 8 years of professional experience with McDonald Jones Homes, my journey has encompassed diverse roles and industries. I spent 15 formative years in the hospitality sector as a function and event manager, mastering the art of delivering exceptional customer service. My path evolved when I pursued a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture, leading to a rewarding freelance career specializing in kitchen and laundry design. Joining McDonald Jones in 2016 as a Sales Assistant and subsequently transitioning to a Building and Design Consultant role in 2017 has allowed me to weave together a rich tapestry of knowledge and expertise.
My approach is founded on genuine connection and understanding. I welcome the opportunity hear the unique stories and motivations of potential and new customers. By truly listening, I gain insights that enable me to design and create spaces that resonate with their aspirations. Honesty and transparency guide my interactions, ensuring clients are empowered to make informed decisions. I take pride in providing a personalized, stress-free experience that nurtures trust and fosters an environment where dreams are cherished.
My expertise shines in crafting intelligently designed living spaces with an unwavering commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency. The decisions surrounding a home's size, orientation, and materials wield lasting effects on its operational costs and environmental impact. This topic resonates deeply with me, as I believe in future-proofing homes, ensuring they remain efficient and eco-conscious for generations to come.
My most remarkable achievement to date lies in the fulfillment of hundreds of families' dreams as I've guided them through the process of building their ideal homes with McDonald Jones Homes. Serving as one of the experienced Building and Design Consultants for the ACT and surrounding areas, I've been privileged to contribute to the creation of homes that reflect the aspirations and lifestyles of countless individuals. This role has not only allowed me to shape living spaces but has also established me as a trusted leader in the field. As I continue to facilitate the realization of families' visions, my commitment remains unwavering, supported by my academic accomplishments including a Bachelor's degree in Architecture, a Design Diploma, and ongoing studies in Residential Sustainable Architecture.
My distinct blend of experience, knowledge, and attributes sets me apart as a Building and Design Consultant. Fueled by 8 years of diverse professional experience and a foundation in hospitality, I possess a unique ability to merge functional design with exceptional customer service. My studies in architecture empower me to create spaces that resonate with clients' lifestyles while prioritizing sustainability. I'm committed to staying informed about the latest trends and developments, and I thrive on translating this knowledge into valuable insights for clients.
