Testimonials & Reviews

Expert Guidance and Access to Top Suppliers

“We had the pleasure of meeting Zane and joining the interior design collective, and it was the best decision we made for our business. Zane's expertise and personal touch made us feel confident in our choice, and being a member has truly opened doors for us. Through the collective, we gained access to top suppliers, and Zane's technical assistance with setting up insurances and T's and C's was invaluable. 



We can confidently say that our personal knowledge base and supplier connections have flourished since joining. Working with Zane has been such a pleasure, and we would be lost without his guidance. We highly recommend him to anyone in the industry looking to take their business to the next level.”

— Kate Lemon, MAK Collective

Invaluable Networking Opportunities, Guidance and Support

“Joining the Interior Design Collective was one of the best things we did for our new company two years ago. We were thrilled to find a community of like-minded professionals who were eager to support each other, share information, and help each other grow. Working with Zane has been a fantastic resource for us - his industry knowledge and willingness to help have been invaluable. 



Being part of the collective has given us exclusive invitations to viewings of new products and fabrics, and we regularly receive product discounts. The networking opportunities alone have been incredibly valuable. We highly recommend the Independent Design Collective to anyone looking to connect with other professionals in the industry.”

Community, Benefits and Passion for the Design Industry

“As a designer transitioning from a studio environment to working solo, the community-style connections were invaluable. The discounts, insurance package, and invites to meetups and showings were major attractions, but what really stood out was the passion of members like Zane. The membership fee is more than worth it for the benefits and experiences I've gained from being part of the collective.”

I Appreciate the Presentations We Get to See

“It’s a good, like a really good group. A really nice group of people. I appreciate Zane and the presentations we get to see. One other thing that I am really looking forward to is the show that Zane created {New Zealand Interior Design Fair} that is coming up. ”
