The founder & interior designer behind Creative State Studio.
Creative State Studio was born from a desire to approach design differently. After working across architectural firms, suppliers, interior design studios and renovation companies, I saw firsthand how overwhelming the design process could become when there wasn't enough guidance, flexibility or consideration for the people living in the space.
As a qualified interior designer with an Advanced Diploma of Interior Design, I created Creative State Studio to offer a more personal and considered approach. One that helps homeowners navigate the many decisions that come with building, renovating and creating a home that truly works for them.
I believe good design should support your life, not complicate it. It's not about chasing trends or creating spaces that only look good in photos. It's about creating a home that works, feels right and holds up in everyday life.
Outside of work, I'm very much a homebody, which probably explains why I care so much about creating homes people genuinely enjoy spending time in. You'll usually find me curled up with a book or starting another DIY project that I may or may not finish. If I'm not at home, I'm out exploring Perth with my partner and our dog, usually in search of a good breakfast or convincing myself to go to the gym (it's a love-hate thing).
When you work with me, things stay clear, collaborative and down to earth, so you feel comfortable, supported and confident in every decision.

My Approach
Design should support your life, not complicate it.
Good design starts with understanding how you actually live. It’s not about chasing trends or overcomplicating decisions, but creating a space that works, feels right and holds up in everyday life.
We take the time to understand what matters to you, guiding each decision with direction and intention so everything comes together as a cohesive whole.
