Why I Do What I Do
For over 20 years, I combined life as a small-scale property investor with performing as the lead singer of my own multi award-winning Scottish wedding and corporate events business, while training in interior design and styling my own rental properties — the creative side of every project I loved most.
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, trusted by investors, developers, agents, and sellers, to showcase their properties at their very best. I love seeing the results, the reactions from clients post stage, hearing of the multiple viewings, bidding wars, 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 with. Every space is thoughtfully designed with purpose, warmth, and impact, ensuring my clients achieve the strongest possible returns by selling faster and for significantly more.
Still creative, same passion, just a new stage.
