Meet The Founder
In 2000, when styling property for sale was in its infancy in Sydney, Maria moved to the USA where she discovered the thriving industry of home staging. Having renovated and prepared her own properties for sale whilst working in the corporate world, Maria was quick to take up the opportunity to train and work as a home stager (property stylist) in the USA earning her accreditation with the International Association of Home Staging Professionals and trained by "The Creator of Home Staging®", Barb Schwarz.
For a period, Maria worked in real estate sales in North America and later in Sydney, advising her clients how to style and prepare their property to achieve the best possible price.
Maria's drive and passion for creating spaces that inspire and maximising a property's value saw her complete further formal training at the International School of Colour & Design (ISCD) in Creative Visual Arts (Styling) and Design, where she won numerous awards.
Her formal design training combined with her degree in business and an extensive corporate background, gives Maria the unique combination of creativity, commercial capability and experience.
