Hey, I'm Helena!

I'm an interior designer from WA who is obsessed with designing homes! For over 20 years I’ve worked as an interior designer and I never get tired of watching a forever home come to life.
My specialty is working with families to create custom, personality filled homes that fit them like a glove (and zero cookie cutters).
Being in the design industry I am always shocked at how families begin their design, building or renovation journey and the biggest thing that I notice is that most families come to me too late or they don't think they need an interior designer until they have all their plans locked in.
But the opposite is true. To truly create a home that aligns to your family, your lifestyle and your dreams for the future you need to be working with a professional from day one to make sure you are making the best decisions for your home before it is too late.
I created Home Done Differently so that I could work with more families to help you nail your forever home (without the huge design agency fees) and be your best buddy when it comes to designing your forever home.
I believe that great design should be available to everyone and that a well-designed home will impact our lives and health positively for years to come. So... Let's bring your forever home to life together!
