Colour, Styling, Decorating & Design Service

A passion for designing

Serena Keenan started in fashion co-ordination, styling & modelling with Sydney department stores from the tender age of eighteen, eventually working with the June Dally-Watkins School as a teacher, model and compere. In 1988 Serena launched her own school, agency and parade production team, which included stage design.

Serena then commenced further studies in colour analysis, interior decorating and design. During the past seventeen years practical experience in stage design, balance, lighting and decoration & design has allowed the exploration of many creative possibilities. Training in Colour Analysis has assisted in understanding personal and environmental colours and colour psychology.

Serena has developed schemes for multi-story buildings, private residences and has been teaching on the subject since 1992.
