Mary-Ellen Hinton
Founder and lead Interior Designer of
Hello Saturday
Mary-Ellen has always had a deep passion for creative thinking. Surrounded by fabric, textiles, and the hum of her sewing machine while growing up, her love for art led her to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts, majoring in Photography. After travelling the world, marrying, and starting a family, her creativity ultimately inspired her to establish Hello Saturday Design in 2015. Since then, she has transformed it into a thriving interior design business, serving a diverse range of clients across Auckland.
As a mother of three, Mary-Ellen truly understands the dynamics of busy family life. She appreciates the importance of creating a home that is both welcoming for friends and family, while also offering practical, functional design solutions. Her approach blends innovative ideas with designs that deliver a true wow factor—both stylish and incredibly livable.
As featured in
“We used Hello Saturday when we needed some advice on furniture for our new home. Mary-Ellen was excellent, really took into consideration our likes and dislikes, and the challenges of young busy family. She took all of the legwork out of the process and introduced us to furniture and suppliers we never would have found on our own. We're really happy with the final result and would definitely recommend Hello Saturday if you're renovating or just after a re-fresh in your own home” - Kirsty Jones, Sandgringham, Auckland
“Hello Saturday, was essential for us in our building process. We knew what we wanted but were time poor and Mary-Ellen took all the pressure off. She understood our vision, spent endless hours talking with the builder and electrician to make sure the build matched the vision and executed perfectly. Even our furniture was delivered the day we moved in. In a Covid impacted year that is really saying something. Hello Saturday was truly awesome” - Sarah, Auckland
