For those following the journey of this project I am thrilled to finally share - Prana House. A project shaped by family, creativity, nature and new beginnings.

When our clients Tim and Mackenzie reached out in Feb last year, they had just made the enormous decision to relocate their young family of six from the city to the Sunshine Coast. The significance of that decision wasn’t lost on me and for the first six months, it was barely a whisper, even amongst those in their inner circle as they tired to navigate the enormity of relocating a family of 6.

The move was about so much more than a change of address. It was a desire for a smaller community, a deeper connection to nature and a life by the ocean, just as they themselves had experienced growing up.

What followed was an incredible journey and a true team effort. Mackenzie, a fellow creative in her own right, became an integral part of our creative team, bringing so much energy and joy to the process. Alongside Builders Tim P & Chris F and the crew at T2 Constructions, we worked together to bring this home to life.

Purchased in February 2025, the house underwent an extensive transformation, with the family moving in just twelve months later in January,just in time for the kids to start a new school. No small feat!

And throughout the process, life continued to unfold. Two of our own team welcomed babies into their lives, another moved away, whale season arrived (much to the delight of everyone on site!) I completed over 350-hour yoga teacher training, and we lost loved ones and welcomed new life!

With Mackenzie also connected to yoga, Prana, (the Sanskrit word for life force or vital energy), felt like the perfect name for a home filled with so much life, change and connection.

I’m incredibly proud of what we created together and so grateful to everyone who made it possible.

While beauty will always matter, I’ve come to believe it isn’t the destination.

The homes and spaces that stay with us aren’t necessarily the biggest or the most expensive. They’re the ones that support the way we live and feel. They welcome us, nurture us and invite us to slow down. They create connection, where objects hold story and meaning. They give us somewhere to retreat. They feel like home.

This philosophy has quietly shaped my design practice for many years, and it’s a conversation I’d like to begin sharing more openly.

I’m honoured these thoughts will soon be published. I’ve also expanded on them in my first Substack article, where I’ll continue exploring what I see as an evolving approach to design, one that considers not only how our homes look, but how they support the whole person, the way we live, feel and connect.

If this resonates with you, I’d love for you to join me there. The link is in my bio.

I’d also love to know your thoughts on what makes a home feel like home to you???

This year, I’m celebrating 10 years in business and 20 years since graduating in Design from RMIT.

As a twenty-something design student, I vividly remember being immensely inspired when a teacher showed us Blur Building by Diller + Scofidio - an architecture made not from walls, but atmosphere.

Even then, something about it stayed with me.
The idea that architecture could be felt more than seen.

The more I design, the more I realise spaces are never just visual.

They shape the way we breathe.
The way we gather.
The way we rest.
The way we regulate.

Over the years, I’ve become increasingly interested in how our homes influence the nervous system, often without us even realising it.

How light moves through a space.
How it sounds.
How it feels to be within it.
And perhaps even who we share it with, and the influence of their own inner worlds within our spaces.

Perhaps this is why some spaces leave us feeling deeply settled… while others quietly leave us feeling overstimulated, unsettled or anxious.

Good design goes far beyond aesthetics.
It becomes something we feel. Our Lakes House project (originally designed by my father) was reimagined by us 33 years later with a deep awareness of this - honouring natural light, honest materials, connection to landscape, and spaces that support both family connection and quiet retreat.

Perhaps it’s only in looking back that we begin to recognise the threads that have been guiding us all along.

Three days in Melbourne for Design Week and we have come home with minds & bodies absolutely buzzing. Inspired, expanded, creatively lit up… and deeply grateful.

What a privilege to immerse ourselves in thoughtful design, beautiful spaces, material innovation, and perhaps most importantly, conversation. The kind of conversations that linger long after they’ve ended.

Conversations with designers, makers, creatives and thinkers asking bigger questions.. about how we live, what we value, the future of design, materiality, sustainability, beauty, emotion, and the role our environments play in shaping how we feel.
As creatives, it’s easy to stay immersed in the doing. The delivery. The deadlines. The solving.
Stepping outside of our everyday rhythm and into spaces of possibility was such a powerful reminder of how essential creative exchange really is.

What surprised me most was not just how inspired I personally felt… but how alive. (Melbourne does that to me) There’s something incredibly energising about being in new environments, engaging in expansive conversations, and allowing space for curiosity without needing an outcome.

It made me realise how much of our aliveness can sit quietly beneath responsibility, routine, and the constant movement of daily life. Sometimes it’s about remembering parts of ourselves that have simply been waiting for more room. (I highly encourage making space for it)

Deeply grateful to the incredible creatives who shared their work, wisdom and time so generously. Now to channel all of this energy into our own projects and whats coming next.

WOW… truly beyond thrilled and deeply humbled to share that our Lakes House has been shortlisted for the Australian Interior Design Awards 2026.

To be recognised in a category I’ve long admired, alongside peers I’ve looked up to for years… it feels surreal. There aren’t quite words for it.

But more than anything, this project is special because of the people behind it.

To our incredible clients and the trust you gave us, the openness, the willingness to explore it shaped everything. What came from that is not just a project, but a relationship I’ll always value.

This home also holds a very personal story. Originally designed by my father when I was 12, to return and reimagine it decades later feels incredibly full circle.

This is why I love what I do.
Creating homes that feel deeply connected, to landscape, to light, to family.

Spaces that don’t just look beautiful, but feel like something.

Thank you to the judges for recognising this work, and to my amazing team and all the trades who poured so much care into bringing it to life.

A very special moment.
