testimonials

"Hayley has worked with me creatively for 8 years. She has an infectious enthusiasm and an infamous eye for detail. Her design work is alway on point. She understands my wider vision and brand and goes the extra mile to make sure projects are beautifully executed. "

- Al Brown.

"Hayley worked closely with Alex Isik our late director on at least twelve restaurant fit-outs. She quickly became our Art Director across all of our projects for her ability to see the bigger picture as well as bring our ideas to life on the ground. Apart from being a creative powerhouse I have found one of Hayley's true strengths to be her understanding of actual operational requirements within the venue - her ability to troubleshoot and meet budget requirements adds yet another layer to her design and fit out capabilities,"

-- Dionne Smith - Operations Manager, Nazar Hospitality Group

"Hayley has been our go-to for concept design, styling and sourcing across a multitude of projects, most recently the Commercial Bay Hospitality venues in conjunction with architects and designers Avroko (NYC). Hayley has an innate ability to grasp any brief or vision and enhance it. She is an incredibly talented artist / designer / project manager, can source pretty much anything and consistently brings innovative and cost effective solutions to the table. She gives 200% to every project and above all else keeps us sane when the inevitable madness sets in. I would recommend her without hesitation. "

Dana Johanson: Director, Public Assembly (Local Operating partner for Commercial bay Hospitality).

"Hayley has been an integral part of the design, fit out, and artwork of our Best Ugly Bagels venues. She delivers “the secret sauce” which gives our stores that intangible look and feel which make them inviting and intriguing customer spaces."

Jeremy Coombes - GM, Al Brown & Co.
