Rhad Leonardi was integral in the design of our tasting bar and distillery layout. Fitting so much in a small space, that had to be production 4 days a week, and a high-end hospitality venue 3 days a week was no issue. We are so happy with the final product and will certainly be back to use his services on the next build.

I used jarmin to design my house in Brisbane, he was a pleasure to work from the start till finish. He was very easy going and made the changes we wanted to make to the plans without issue. His tips and ideas while in the design process helped us out greatly. The build came in on budget and looked better than expected! I will be definitely using him again.

Rhad Leonardi developed the design of our house in Brightwater. We are very pleased with the design. It was well resolved in 3 dimensions, and has many commendable features that we are very please with. We would highly recommend Rhad Leonardi as a bespoke house designer.
