Meet Our Team
Ben
The ideas man behind the designs. Ben’s clever design details and practical solutions help customers turn “rough ideas” into dream spaces. Equal parts designer, problem solver, and perfectionist – he’s usually already redesigning the room in his head before you’ve finished talking.
-
Kellie
The friendly voice keeping Karve flowing behind the scenes. Kellie’s passion for colour, customer service, and keeping the paperwork under control is endless. She can brighten your kitchen plans and chase invoices all at the same time.
-
Dave
If perfection had a personality, it’d probably be Dave. With an eye for detail bordering on obsessive. He’s the guy making sure every design comes to life exactly as planned. Organisation, coordination, and keeping the workflow smooth – Dave’s got it covered… probably twice.
-
Adam
Drawings, customer service, problem-solving – Adam’s the bloke who’ll find a way to make things happen. With a can-do attitude and plenty of patience, he helps turn concepts into reality while keeping customers smiling along the way.
-
Mick
Workshop wizard, and proof that experience beats Google every time. Mick’s been around long enough to know every trick in the book – and probably invented a few too, while quietly keeping the workshop running like clockwork.
-
Liz
The organisational powerhouse bringing the perfect amount of female touch to our workshop. Liz keeps things flowing, tidy, and on track – because behind every successful team is someone making sure everyone else has remembered what they forgot.
-
Harrison
Our newest apprentice and official eager beaver. Harrison’s keen to learn and diving headfirst into the trade with a solid work ethic. Big future ahead!
