We met Jana from Fox & Wolf when we were planning renovation work on our lovely Beach Cottage in Rosedale. Jana was incredibly helpful, professional and managed the fact that we were living in Europe, while planning the renovation work in Australia. She put us in contact with all the right people for the DA, did fantastic research for us for various items we were unsure how to source, as not knowing the market. We always felt Jana was just as excited and dedicated to our project as we were and that makes a great difference, when your Architect understands what the space means to you and how you

Jana was a pleasure to work with on our recent renovation. We provided a few ideas of what we wanted and she brought brought them to life! (And made suggestions that were truly transformative). She is super responsive, very professional and great value to boot. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services.

Jana provided creative and trustworthy advice for our recent home renovation. I wouldn't hesistate to recommend her. We had some ideas of what might work, and she thought outside of the box and really took these to the next level. Jana has great communication skills and offers excellent value for money.

We asked Jana to help us with plans to renovate our bathrooms and convert a laundry into a study/bedroom. She drafted plans for the builder and for our DA. She was practical, & responsive, and her fees were very reasonable. Her ideas were very clever, and helped us make the best of the small space we had. I highly recommend her for any size project.

We hired Jana for a project where we completely renovated 2 bathrooms and turned our laundry into an extra room. She provided detailed plans for our builder and for our DA. She was a great sounding board for our ideas, helping us translate them into workable plans. But she also had excellent suggestions we never would have thought of, such as using a folding shower screen instead of a fixed panel to make our awkward shower area so much more practical and flexible. Another idea of hers that we will do in phase 2 of our renovation will allow us to easily add an entire long wall of storage and rationalise
