Spaces you feel.

Micaela is an interior and garden designer with a timeless aesthetic and a detail-driven approach. She believes the best spaces are not only beautiful and functional, but have a feeling about them. Spaces that are considered, personal and genuinely enjoyable to be in.

With a Bachelor of Design (Spatial) and over 15 years of industry experience, she has worked across a wide range of interior design roles, from interior architect at Klein Architects to designing bespoke kitchens, working with fabrics and window treatments, and sourcing materials at one of New Zealand’s leading fabric wholesalers.

Her eye for flow and function was further sharpened during her time as a sole stewardess on a luxury sailing yacht in the Mediterranean, where precision and organisation were essential. After spending the past decade living rurally and establishing extensive gardens from bare land, her love of gardening naturally evolved into garden design. Simultaneously, she established her own flower farm, growing flowers and foliage for her work as a florist.

These days, Micaela splits her time between interiors and her creative life on the land — floristry, dreaming up gardens, hosting guests in her B&B, and raising her three daughters at Rakaunui Gardens.
