I was contracted to design off plan, the interior of the 66m2 show unit at Rezidence Drahobejlova, Prague: The scope of work included providing CGI's for marketing purposes,negotiating pricing, procurement and project managing the installation, as well as the final styling up for the launch of the project.

The development won the Best Residential Project Award in 2014 and featured over 5 pages in "Nove Bydleni" magazine.

The feedback from the project team in general is that Sharon is a very positive person and great to work with. She had to deal with quite a few setbacks and had to win people over to get the active support she needed to make it happen, as well as having to deal with the language barrier. Everyone involved was proud of the final result and enjoyed working with her, including me! Probably the best recommendation is that after seeing her visualisations for the design of the show flat, I decided to buy the show flat as an investment.

Having taken over an existing small hotel property in a prime location of Prague, the owners tasked me with managing the naming, branding, and setting of hospitality standards for The Nicholas - a boutique hotel set under the eaves of the historic Gromlingovsky Palac, Mala Strana at the Charles Bridge. I was also tasked to project-manage the upgrading of the interiors, the FF&E, and the opening of the property. The Nicholas continues to get excellent reviews on Tripadvisor. www. thenicholashotel.com

Sharon was our project manager to bring the Nicholas Hotel & Residence not only into existence but to set it on the path to become the most charming little boutique Hotel in Prague. Sharon took over the complete management of this process from coming up with a fitting design of the rooms, hiring the staff, branding; initial marketing to finding the best fabrics for the rooms. Sharon made sure all the little details are in place that make all the difference and that communicates to our guests that they are welcomed, thought of and taken care of. The Nicholas Hotel & Residence has been a great success so far and became a proud addition to the bohemian hostel& hotel group. This is largely due to Sharon’s creative effort and experience.’

Whilst developing a lodge on Jack Nicklaus Signature course in a seaside town in South Africa, we realised that although we had a working concept for a fractional ownership golf resort lodge, we did not have any idea how to put the finishing touches on our product. It is at that point that we engaged with Sharon, and she immersed herself in understanding not only our target market, but also the context & challenge of presenting a golf lodge that also acts as a seaside cottage which will be utilised by numerous owners. To say that Sharon nailed this brief would be an understatement as she presented a modern yet relaxed and homely feel, with just enough touch of class to set our product apart. In addition to this, and perhaps most importantly to us, the total FF+E has proven to be practical, robust and hassle free for all the owners.
I would not hesitate to recommend Sharon as a Consultant and hope to work again with her in the future.

A non-Structural refurb: A very dated old house in Upper Hill Nairobi transformed with a lick of paint, brighter lighting, a used L-shaped sofa steam cleaned and covered in cotton throws, and cushion covers made of fabric samples. I repainted and used the existing bookshelf. This make-over was featured in East Africa Home's Living in November 2016. Photographer: Cash Moraa

A modest structural upgrade: A small Cape cottage perched on a hill at St Francis Bay. A wall was introduced to screen the scullery and create a breakfast nook, and the windows were changed to sliding doors to maximise the views and easy access to a newly created patio garden.
