Clear Plans. Confident Builds.
Detailed, build-ready joinery plans designed to eliminate onsite guesswork — so you can deliver high-end results, on time and stress-free.
Tired of Plans That Create More Problems Than They Solve?
You’re not alone. Builders come to me when they’re dealing with:
Costly delays caused by vague or incomplete joinery plans.
Mid-job variations that throw timelines and budgets off track.
Unbuildable designs from architects who don’t understand site realities.
When the plans aren’t build-ready, everything slows down — and you’re left to clean up the mess.
I Know Where Projects Fall Apart — and How to Keep Yours on Track..
After 13+ years in our family’s cabinetmaking business, I’ve worked on countless residential projects and collaborated with builders, architects and designers at every stage. And one thing has become crystal clear:
Joinery plans are one of the biggest pain points on site — and they shouldn't be.
I’ve seen good builds go sideways because the plans lacked detail, the designs weren’t buildable or communication between trades broke down.
The truth is, many architects and designers don’t specialise in the technical side of joinery. They’re not thinking about how it’s actually built — or the realities of construction, installation and budget.
That’s why I created a better way.
I design joinery plans that don’t just look good — they work on site, support your cabinet maker and build client excitement and trust from the very beginning.
Because chasing answers mid-build shouldn’t be part of your job. I give you plans that prevent the problems before they start.

Hey, I’m Kirsty — and I’m here to make your builds easier.
I’m a joinery designer with a background in cabinet making and I created Joind Design Studio to give builders something they rarely get: detailed, buildable plans that actually make their lives easier on site.
After 13+ years running my family’s cabinet making business, I saw how often jobs were derailed by vague drawings, miscommunication or last-minute changes. It was preventable — and it frustrated the hell out of me.
So I built a service that does it differently. One that bridges the gap between vision and execution, cuts out the confusion and gives you everything you need to move forward with confidence.
At Joind, we don’t just make it look good on paper. We make sure it works on site.
Proof it works — straight from the site.
How It Works
Here’s how we take your project from floor plan to full documentation — without the usual back-and-forth.
Consult – We meet in person to walk through your project, review your floor plans and look at inspiration so we’re clear on the vision from the start.
Quote & Booking – You’ll receive a tailored quote based on your scope. Once accepted, a deposit secures your project in the calendar.
Preliminary Plans – We create your preliminary joinery plans based on your floor plan — including functional layouts, early design direction and recommendations that align with your client’s budget.
Site Visit – We meet on site to walk through the space, take detailed measurements and refine the design in real context.
Revisions – This is where we lock everything in — from finishes and hardware to final layout and design details. You’ll have up to three rounds of revisions to make sure every element is spot-on and ready for documentation.
Delivery – Once approved, you receive a complete documentation set — ready to hand over to your cabinet maker with total confidence.
