The role of the designer is to better the space that surrounds us. Better it in terms of cost, function and appearance and in a way that connects with our personal desires and aspirations.

Designworks is a design and build business. We will take care of your project from the initial consultation and design through to installation. We work on a variety of interior areas such as museum exhibits, furniture, cabinets and product design. 

Design is a collaborative process and we often work with other designers, retailers, suppliers and contractors depending on the demands and scope of your project.
