Michael Simpson is one of the founding Directors at Kitchen Design Centre. His experience in design and cabinet making kitchens extends over 20 years. With a strong passion for kitchen design, Michael puts in every effort to design a kitchen that best suits the client’s needs, without compromising on aesthetic.

As a qualified cabinet maker and has a Diploma in Interior Design. His cabinet making background means Michael gets the absolute best out of the cabinetry he designs because he understands the construction fully. Adding the interior design element to this allows him to create aesthetically beautiful kitchens that marry into homes seamlessly. Both the Eltham showroom and the Blackburn showroom have elements of Michael’s flair for design

As a qualified Cabinet Maker and Registered Builder, Peter Schelfhout understands the importance of attention to detail and the superior finish customers expect. He attributes his success to the long-standing vision of leading The Kitchen Design Centre with a hands on, collaborative style and a tireless commitment to the highest level of customer service and satisfaction.

Peter and his business partner Michael have over 60 years combined kitchen industry experience and have successfully built a reputation for quality craftsmanship and innovative ideas, including a strong environmental awareness and adopting green manufacturing principles throughout their organisation.

Corey started designing for The Kitchen Design Centre in 2010 but his experience in the industry stretches right back to 1988, his beginnings in cabinet making and installation before transitioning to design.

Corey spent 4 years designing in Ireland, working primarily in importing high end German kitchens. This developed his keen interest in European design features. He remains strongly connected to the European market thus ensuring his designs in Australia are always innovative.

Drafting kitchen configurations and figuring out the best cabinetry for the space is what makes Corey tick. The challenge of an awkward space will get him fired up so, he won’t stop until the design is right and the client is happy. The reward? A client in love with their new kitchen!

Wendy is an Interior Designer who is passionate about kitchens. Originally from Canada, she moved to Melbourne 25 years ago where she discovered her love for interiors and decided to study interior design. Wendy believes it is important to create a cohesive flow throughout a home. As the kitchen is “ the heart of the home” it is essential that the design be both functional and beautiful. ‘There is nothing better than coming home to a place where you can relax and enjoy your own space, specifically designed for you and your family.’

Wendy is dedicated to listening to and communicating with her clients to determine their needs and expectations. She strives to incorporate innovation, style and practicality into each kitchen to create the perfect individual design. ‘It is such a pleasure to show a client a kitchen design that exceeds their expectations and then to see their delight at having that design come to life!’
