Plan your next chapter with Designing Moves
How Designing Moves works
"Designing Moves supports individuals and families across Taupō and the wider region with move planning that is structured, personal, and grounded in real experience.
Every engagement is tailored — because no two moves, and no two clients, are the same."
Architectural planning
Working with Mark Rantin Architecture, I'll create a functional, beautiful layout for your new home - designed around the Treasure & Keep possessions that matter most to you
Premium Move Service
Personalised, one-on-one planning and support through every stage of your move — from sorting and downsizing to the responsible management of possessions that won't be moving with you
Estate Clearance
Compassionate, professional support for families navigating an estate. I work with you to honour wishes, accurately inventory possessions, and prepare goods for sale, donation, or clearance.
Premium Move Plan
The Premium Move Plan is hands-on support for every stage of your move. Using my four-stream system, we'll work through your possessions together — deciding what moves with you, what has value, what can be gifted, and what leaves responsibly.
You'll receive clear updates throughout, so you always feel ready and informed.
I offer an obligation-free one-hour consultation in your home to introduce myself and explain how the service works. Not in Taupō? Contact me for options.
Declutter Assist
Not every project is a full move. I offer practical, judgement-free support for clients who want to sort, reduce, and regain control of their space — using the same four-stream approach that underpins every Designing Moves engagement.
Inventory Management
A tailored record of your possessions — capturing items of financial or sentimental value alongside your instructions for their placement, now or in the future. Delivered in digital and hardcopy formats, with optional photography.
Available as a standalone service at an hourly rate, or included within the Premium Move Plan. Contact me for further information or an estimate.
Introducing the 4-Stream System
At the heart of every Designing Moves engagement is my four-stream system — a structured, practical approach to sorting possessions that takes the overwhelm out of the decisions.
Whether you're preparing for a smaller home, retiring, or managing an estate, the four streams make sure everything is accounted for, nothing is wasted, and you carry your story into your new space.
Memory creation — photographing and recording the possessions you're leaving behind — can be added to any engagement.

Why packing boxes is not where to start
Most people start with the boxes. Designing Moves starts with the destination — measuring and planning your new space before a single item is packed, so everything that moves has a place to go.
That means packing for arrival, not departure. Removing what isn't moving before the truck arrives. And making sure you're prepared for moving day itself — and the days that follow.
Know before you go.
