Happy to
have you!

Dive in to a world of virtual interior design magic with Charni, from wherever in the world you may be.

My purpose is to design spaces people love to spend time in. I offer mindful adjustments to realign energetic balance in a home & provide globally inspired design that honours our connection to the earth, personalised to celebrate unique style.

Let me be a helping hand to create a home that is nourishing and supportive & build the vision you’ve been dreaming up.

  • My passion is showing up authentically, no frills and fuss, just real honest chat about loving design and helping make your space work better for you.

    The term global citizen or third culture kid (that may be familiar if you’re here because we met along my travels), well that’s me! Born in New Zealand, spent 10 years in Singapore, lived throughout the Pacific and now reside on the Big Island of Hawaii.

    There is nothing quite like the culture immersion of growing up in South East Asia, the colour, festive flair and understanding of eclectic, spicy taste. Early on my eye for quality pieces was developed in a home filled with special treasures from family travels.

    After studying a BSc in Marine Science in NZ, I dedicated my 20s to marine conservation. Working seasonally in remote places, educating whoever would listen about warming oceans, coral health decline, saving sharks and facilitating life-changing experiences with wildlife.

    I offer a global view in our design conversations, providing knowledge and inspiration from a lifetime of international experience (and my latest travels, of course).

    I honour wherever you’re at in the home design stage, whether renting for a few months or nesting for a few years, I’ve been there and can support you in making the most of your precious sanctuary.

    • (noun) māori

  • An ancient Chinese practice adjusting the energetic flow of a space into harmony with the natural environment, promoting balance for ones self.

  • Everything at our core comes down to better serving this big blue beautiful planet. Wherever possible making choices that leave a smaller imprint, a lesser footprint - virtual online business, second-hand suggestions, supporting sustainable materials.

  • We’re virtual to connect further. Across oceans and time-zones to serve like-minded intrepid nomads who are long-term nesting or short-term renting, wherever in the world you may be.
