She sails, she tangos and
loves a good book.

What do you do: Interior Designer

Favourite designer: David Hicks, Bates Smart, BKH, HPG. I love classic design with an electic twist.

Favourite design destination: Melbourne.

Inspiration: Nature, beautiful finishes, beautiful pieces of furniture…. travel… change… Anywhere overseas – I adored Buenos Aires.

Work in progress: I currently work for Tony Owen Partners. I am currently working on mainly luxury residences in Sydney for them, and privately a cafe in Balmain.

Other areas of interest: I love writing; I am always writing something in my head… I also love photography, but just never find the time to do anything about it – it’s on my bucket list!
