About Katie Rees


With a wealth of industry experience and a big heart, Katie has a burning desire to remove the fear and anguish often associated with renovating, designing and building a new home and allow owner’s to genuinely enjoy their Dream Home Project from start to finish.

Katie’s mentoring packages are built on knowledge accumulated over her successful career specialising in residential design, combined with the life experience of navigating a major renovation and new home build for her own family.

As a wife and mother to three young daughters, Katie understands the role a well-designed home can play in supporting our intentions for a connected family. 

So what is the Kick Start Program-

And how can it help you?


Deciding to do a major home renovation or a new build process can be a daunting prospect.

There is nothing quite so rewarding as sitting back in your beautiful home catered specifically to your family’s needs and desires- But the road itself can be bumpy and fraught with danger. A friend once described the dream home journey as ‘hard-fun’, which sums up the process just about perfectly!

When commencing the journey, dream homemaker’s concerns generally carry a similar theme;

  • We don’t know where to start
  • We are concerned with budget and blowouts
  • We want to ensure quality of design and build
  • We are too time poor to research and organise
  • We don’t know how to choose the right designer or builder
  • We are feeling overwhelmed with options

If you relate to some of the above then this 'Kick Start Program' will set you on the right track.

You will have lifetime access to the course allowing you to re-visit each 10-15 minute video module as required. A downloadable worksheet is available in each module to action what has been covered specifically for your project.
