Design and the spaces we move through, is how I make sense of the world—It’s how I bring wellbeing (and a sense of care) into our living environments and everyday experiences.

My journey into design began long before I knew its name. I grew up surrounded by art, opera, and movement—learning early on how our environments affect our wellbeing. After a double art major in high school and early studies in art history, architecture, and psychology, I turned toward interior design—drawn not just to how things look, but how they make people feel.

From the beginning, I found myself more aligned with spatial ethnography, the conceptual and sensory side of the discipline: colour, texture, spatial flow, emotional resonance. While I trained formally in interior (architectural) design and strategic business marketing, my true education came from the breadth of places I’ve lived and worked—from inner-city Melbourne to remote Australia, from Doha to London to Munich.

Design gave me a language to belong, especially in unfamiliar places. And in return, I’ve built a practice around helping others feel at home—in their spaces, brands, work, and lives.

Over the years, my work has spanned interior design, styling, retail and branded environments, creative direction, marketing strategy and spatial wellbeing strategy. I’ve consulted for design studios, startups, global brands and cultural institutions—always operating at the intersection of design thinking, emotional intelligence, and human experience.

My studio practice is underpinned by research into how space impacts human wellbeing—including ongoing postgraduate study in the Master of Design Futures (MDF) at RMIT, where I focus health and wellbeing within our physical and digital environments, spatial narratives and sensory design for complex, future-facing environments. My academic foundations include a Bachelor of Built Environment in Interior Design (BBE) and postgraduate training in Marketing, Embodiment Movement Methods, and Creative Leadership.

I am a certified WELL Practitioner, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (RSA), and a committed advocate for empathetic leadership—especially for women designing and leading in today’s shifting landscape. NDR
