Redesign your home, so it feels just right.
It's about making your space work. So your home supports how you want to live.
Giving you more ease, comfort and enjoyment every day.
So you can leave the house in the morning feeling energised - not rushed, frazzled or like you've just run an obstacle course!
Whether you're dreaming of a bigger kitchen, better flow between rooms, or a peaceful space to work or rest, it's easy to jump straight to plans and prices before the most important questions are answered.
That's where the Big Picture Plan comes in.
The Big Picture Plan: What It Is
It's focused, strategic and empowering.
More than 100 homeowners have already followed this simple, thoughtful process:
Vision
Clarify your needs & dreams with in-depth guided briefing. |
Design Options
Explore 3-8 sketch plans and refine the best one together. |
Feasibility
Practical checks so you move forward with confidence. |
Before >>> After
What makes this process different?
We begin by understanding your lifestyle, priorities, and future plans, so the design truly reflects what matters to you.
It's a highly collaborative design experience, rooted in:
- Your personal values
- Your real life routines
- Your long-term goals
And because it happens early, before you spend on drawings or builders, you avoid the costly trap of redesigning later.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after I book my Big Picture Plan?
As soon as you book, you’ll receive instant access to your preparation workbook so you can start getting ready for your Design Day right away. Your chosen week will be reserved in my calendar, and I’ll send you clear next steps to help you feel fully prepared.
Will you come to my home for the Design Day?
No – and that’s intentional. The Big Picture Plan is delivered remotely via video calls. You’ll upload plans, photos, and information into your private client folder. Working remotely at this stage saves you time, makes scheduling easier, and is more eco-friendly. You can join from home or work – no travel, no days off needed.
What if I don’t have plans of my home to send you?
That’s completely fine. There are several easy ways to get basic plans that are perfectly suitable for this stage. Once you’ve booked, I’ll guide you step-by-step to get what we need.
What happens during the Big Picture Plan and why is each step important?
We begin with the Design Your Home Vision prepbook, where I guide you through my signature EAGLE method. This helps you reflect deeply on your home, your lifestyle, and what matters most to you.
We then meet for a Clarity Call to discuss your vision and make sure I fully understand your needs. I use this insight to create several sketch design options, which we review together during a Collaborative Design Call. You’ll give feedback live, and we’ll evolve the design together. Within seven working days, you’ll receive your sketch plans and a personalised summary of next steps for your project.
Following your Design Day, you’ll receive a checklist and videos to help guide you through a practical check of your preferred design. I’ll be available via email for unlimited support for up to three months, and you have the option of booking a next steps call with me to help you take your project to the next stage.
What if I don’t like the design?
That’s very unlikely – because you’re involved in shaping it every step of the way. The Big Picture Plan is a collaborative process. We explore options together, keep what you love, and discard what doesn’t feel right. You also get follow-up email support and guidance for up to three months after, so there’s space to ask questions and check that the design is really right for you before you move forward.
Do both my partner and I have to join the calls?
Yes. If you’re both going to live in the home, your perspectives both matter. I ask you to complete the prepbook together or individually (whichever works for you) and to join the two calls. This ensures the design reflects both your needs and avoids misunderstandings or dissatisfaction that can slow your project down later on.
Can I chat with you before booking?
Absolutely. If you’d like to check whether the Big Picture Plan is the right fit for your project, you’re very welcome to book a free Roadmap Call with me. There’s no pressure – just honest advice and a chance to get clear on your next steps.
Still unsure?
If your question isn’t listed above, just book a free Roadmap Call or drop me an email at [email protected] – I’m happy to help.
