Why I Do What I Do
For over 20 years, I balanced my work as a small-scale property investor with life on stage as the lead singer of my own multi award-winning Scottish wedding and corporate events business, something I truly loved. Alongside performing, I developed my passion for interiors, training in interior design and working part-time in property staging. This allowed me to style my own rental properties while also helping friends and family transform their homes into beautiful, welcoming spaces that truly reflect who they are.
A New Beginning
Then came 2020. The pandemic hit, the music paused, and the world seemed to stand still, but with it came a powerful turning point. Like many performers, I found myself at a crossroads, and choosing to step fully into property staging felt not only natural, but incredibly exciting, proof that every cloud really does have a silver lining.
From Stage to Staging
Today, that creative energy has a new home. As founder of Upstaged, I lead one of Scotland’s top property staging teams, helping investors, developers, estate agents, and homeowners showcase their properties at their very best. I love seeing the results, multiple viewings, bidding wars, closing dates, and the exceptional sales prices never fail to excite me.
My mission is simple: to transform empty properties into stylish, welcoming, market-ready show homes that buyers instantly connect and fall in love with. Every space is thoughtfully designed with purpose, warmth and impact, to ensure my clients achieve the strongest possible returns, selling faster and for significantly more.
Still creative, same passion, just a new stage.
