Michelle Gillbanks.
Designer
“I have a passion for transforming spaces and relish the project management aspect of my work. I enjoy the complexity of kitchen design – the pulling together of beautiful materials and the latest technologies to create an efficient space where my clients just love to be. I am equally at home with renovation work and new build projects.”
Michelle was introduced to the kitchen industry at a very early age. Her mother, award-winning designer Sue Gillbanks, trained and mentored her, which is evident in her design flair and her passion for the profession.
Michelle began her career as a project manager in Australia, working on high-end, custom-built homes. This early experience has given her invaluable insights into precisely what goes on behind the scenes and also what needs to be done to ensure a smooth design and build process.
When Michelle decided that kitchen design is really where her heart lies, she moved home to New Zealand and started to work alongside her mother. That was in 2015. Since then, Michelle has won numerous awards and gained industry recognition for her innovative yet practical kitchen designs. Her most recent award is listed below.
