She has achieved worldwide recognition for her designs with Alessi and won an award at Tokyo designers block 2005. She has numerous products in production and supply with Australian distributors and is commissioned to design furniture for events such as the Flemington Races.

Bringing artistic insights to the practicality of everyday items forms a strong and inspiring fusion, producing a dynamic furniture collection that has relevance and longevity.
The collection is a culmination of research, travel and passion for design, coupled with a conscientious understanding within today’s market. Attention to detail along with consistent, dedicated and honest customer service will see SBW evolve and mature throughout the years.
