The year in motion

As my year gathers momentum, I find myself with a busy work calendar in February. There are new residential projects, product development, and a new interior design workshop series is scheduled. It's full steam ahead!

Of course, we all know that Australia has had a challenging start to 2020. We have seen ongoing bushfires and recent floods causing further damage to our eastern states. It has created a shift in our priorities as we look outside our lives to offer help to those in need.

As a result, I continue with my design services, albeit with more gratitude and humility. I am grateful to be working on a number of projects, both big and small and to be establishing lasting relationships with clients, colleagues, artisans and suppliers. I take nothing for granted.

Some say interior design is unnecessary, but I disagree. It is a welcome distraction and an important part of our home environment. Living in a well-executed interior design scheme can be beneficial to our lifestyles and good for the soul.

I continue to focus on this notion in the hope that I'm creating long-lasting, sustainable and worthwhile design, that can be enjoyed by others, for years to come.
