As a designer of over 15 years, Chartered Horticulturist, graduate of Architecture and graduate of Horticulture, MADesigns offers a qualified, creative and considered service.

MADesigns offers Garden Design, including Horticultural Design and Garden Installation services. Working with sustainable principles, and creativity in all of the spaces we make, each project is treated with care and personal consideration.

MADesigns also offers a Bespoke Craftwork Service. Available to bring a variety of different projects to life, both indoors or outdoors. Projects have included creating decorative event pieces, custom wooden planters, tablescapes, physical models and crafted artworks. Please get in touch and we can discuss how we can help bring your project or idea to life.

MADesigns is also the home of Chalkboard Art Belfast (CAB), offering handwritten signage and artwork for homes and businesses. CAB has grown beyond the boundaries of the wider Belfast area (and exclusively chalkboards), also offering indoor and outdoor wall art, menus, window art and custom cards.

A Seasonal Decoration Service is also available (by appointment only). Combining all of the aspects offered across MAD and CAB, we can work with you to create your dream decor for a holiday or event.
