About / Samantha Norris
A designer’s eye.
A practical perspective.
I’m Samantha Norris. My design experience spans the UK and Auckland, bringing a broad perspective to interiors, workplace design and the way people use a space.
Experience / Approach
Good design begins
with understanding.
I graduated from the University of Salford in 2007. Since then, my work has taken me between the UK and Auckland, developing a practice shaped by different places, people and project briefs.
My professional experience includes design leadership as Head of Design at Officeinsight. My experience in New Zealand also includes work at Y6, contributing to the Reddy Group and C.P Group headquarters projects. That background informs a considered approach to workplaces, interior layouts and communicating ideas clearly.
Through Samantha Norris, the focus is personal: understanding what your space needs to do, developing a coherent design direction and helping you see a clear next step.

Ideas made clear
Drawings and visualisation make proposals easier to understand, discuss and develop together.
A coherent whole
Space, light, furniture and material choices should feel connected, with practical requirements considered along the way.
