Elise’s 4 year career at HDT has worked on a range of projects, from small scale house alterations, from working as part of a large team on pool projects. She is passionate about colour and fun, interested in how spaces can inject a joy into everyday life. Her most recent career highlight was working on the new Naenae Community Hub, which entered construction in 2023.

Her current focus is to continue working on diverse projects, with a passion for building great relationships with the community, and alongside other design professionals.

Before her time at HDT, Elise worked as a photographer - her passion and skill drive a love of detail and a bit of beautiful, well-crafted spaces (as well as a bit of drama).

On the weekends, you’ll still find Elise behind the camera, or at home with the sewing machine.
