Virginia Mackay  | Principal Designer

I have been moved by colour my entire life, developing an appreciation for the power of it to transform at a young age.

As an interior designer, breathing new life into a space, building a sense of story in home and streamlining clients dreams into reality is what brings me joy.  Truly, the most compelling spaces I have designed are a genuine reflection of their owners and always encompass some old, some new and some personal.  

I am a colour expert with an innate sense in pulling colour schemes together.  My vivacious spirit, optimistic nature and instinctive interpersonal skills are key to managing the relationship between couples in the midst of decisions.

Wanderlust has taken me all over the world and I have lived and worked in Switzerland and Mexico, travelling extensively along the way.  Exploring throughout Europe fuelled my passion for interior design. Ultimately I am led to ask if the way we live at home can influence who we are and who we want to be.  Yes!  A thousand times yes.

I am a book loving people person, fashion admirer, lover of food & wine, dancer, natural health nut, pilates devotee and dreamer in the life I've been blessed with.  Above all, I am a proud wife to my husband Shane and Mama to three beautiful ladies, a pup and a beautiful curly horse.  My children's inquisitiveness of the world, their joy in the simple is my enduring inspiration to live in the moment.  Just as I dream for & encourage them, my daughters are my biggest cheerleaders and teach me everyday to be bold, to live in the moment and to listen carefully. 

There are stories waiting to be told and our homes should all share our journey.  

I would love to help share yours.
