Initially encouraged by the results of her own renovation and staging projects, Simone went on to study with The International Institute Of Home Staging and completed a Styling Masterclass with Australian stylist/author Natalie Walton.
Since launching Coastal Haven Property Styling in 2020 Simone has twice been recognised as finalist in the International Home Staging Award's “Best Vacant Home Project” category.
WHERE IT BEGAN
" There are many similarities between performers and stylists. We are both storytellers creating a little magic on a stage.
We also have an opportunity to transport our audience to a place of their dreams, and when that translates into a hit show for our vendors it is all the more rewarding !"
As a professional dancer and vocalist, Simone enjoyed a career spanning 25 years in Australian television, film and musical theatre. Simone's highlights include tours with Kylie Minogue and Meatloaf, Grease with John Farnham and support performances for Mariah Carey and Tom Jones. She has many fond memories of "Peace Train - The Cat Stevens Story during which she performed at The Sydney Opera House.
Simone was also engaged as Head Stylist for fashion giant The Just Group and choreographer for L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival.
