Biography

Interweaving her studies as a Photographer & Interior Designer and work as an Actress & Presenter, Katrina loves to combine with these creative strands when working with design clients. Studying Interior Design at Sydney Design School, she specialised in colour & textiles. After graduating she spent 4 years working with the renowned Interior Designer & Textile importer Tigger Hall. This job saw Katrina working alongside Sydney's top Interior Designers to help source exquisite textiles, lighting & products for high end residential & commercial interiors. It was this experience that led her to design her first collection of textiles & homeware products. When Katrina returned to NZ in 2018 she opened a retail space on Ponsonby Road, stocking not only her own line of soft furnishings but an array of the gorgeous homewares she'd been introduced to with her work in Sydney. Applying her Interior Design skills she's now working with clients here in Auckland and around the world to create spaces that make their homes unique. Post Covid (if it's not too early to say that!) Katrina has moved her retail store to an online only presence with the popular range of silk velvet and pure linen printed cushions available alongside her photographic work.

Home and Away

Home and Away is set in the fictional town of Summer Bay, a coastal town in New South Wales, and follows the personal and professional lives of the people living in the area. The show initially focused on the Fletcher family, Pippa and Tom Fletcher and their five foster children Frank Morgan, Carly Morris, Steven Matheson, Lynn Davenport and Sally Keating, who would go on to become one of the show's longest-running characters. The show also originally and currently focuses on the Stewart family. Home and Away had proved popular when it premiered in 1988 and had risen to become a hit in Australia, and after only a few weeks, the show tackled its first major and disturbing storyline, the rape of Carly Morris; it was one of the first shows to feature such storylines during the early timeslot. H&A has tackled many adult-themed and controversial storylines; something rarely found in its restricted timeslot.
