I’m Jordi Tate, a local draftsperson based in the Byron Shire, and design is in my blood. Both of my parents were Architects, but I took a bit of a creative detour before finding my way back to the world of drafting. Originally from the UK, I came to Australia to travel, met my partner here, and have called the Northern Rivers home ever since.

 

My design philosophy is simple: aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability should go hand in hand, with none being compromised. I’m passionate about creating designs that are both beautiful and practical, while also being mindful of their environmental impact. Minimalist and eco-conscious by nature, my aesthetic has a bold, mid-century vibe that embraces colour, but I always work closely with my clients to ensure their vision comes to life in every project.

 

Before fully committing to drafting, I explored various creative ventures, including launching my own handmade organic jacket label. However, after working at a structural engineering firm in Cabarita, I realised how much I enjoyed the technical side of design, particularly the challenge of making designs not just visually striking but also structurally sound. This experience gives me a unique edge, while many designers focus purely on form, I understand how to make sure your design ideas can be built to last.

 

Clients often describe me as efficient, detail-oriented, down to earth, and a great problem-solver. I pride myself on being a good listener, taking the time to understand what my clients want, and offering thoughtful solutions that fit within their budget and vision. My goal is simple: to bring my clients’ dream projects to life while ensuring the process is smooth, collaborative, and enjoyable.

Looking forward, I hope to become a go-to draftsperson in the Northern Rivers, helping to shape the local landscape with designs that are thoughtful, sustainable, and beautiful. I’m always growing and adapting with new technologies, and I’m excited to bring fresh, cost-effective, and functional design solutions to the area.

 

Let’s work together to make your next project a reality.
