About me

With more than 25 years of experience as a consulting architectural/interior designer and project manager, I bring a unique combination of creativity, meticulous attention to detail, and adept problem-solving skills to each project.

Over the course of my career, I have consistently achieved successful outcomes for my clients across a spectrum of areas, encompassing site acquisition, regulatory compliance, budget management, innovative design solutions, and efficient project coordination.

My experience spans across a wide range of commercial projects, including buildings such as small commercial/industrial structures, community centers, churches, and medical facilities, as well as specialised spaces like production kitchens, commercial kitchens, takeaways, restaurants, beauty salons, nail salons, retail stores, offices, car showrooms, and age-care facilities.

“We’ve had the pleasure of working with Joey on two projects - the design and building consent process for our new bakery in Petone, and our shop in Aro Street. Throughout both projects, Joey has been a fantastic collaborator, taking the time to understand our vision and needs. His expertise has been invaluable in helping us achieve an ergonomic and visually appealing result that we’re proud of.”

All of the projects were completed to the highest standards and within the designated timelines. Without hesitation, I strongly recommend Joey Groves for any project you may be considering.
