Style and good design have the power to change how we experience the world. I have spent twenty-five years writing about both — and I am still as captivated as I was at the beginning.
Words are my medium. I write about beautiful interiors, architecture, and design for Domain and Prestige magazines in the Financial Review, The Age, and The Sydney Morning Herald — exploring the spaces people inhabit and the stories those spaces tell. As features director at Havenist magazine I champion the best of Western Australian design, interiors, and architecture. I also shape the voice and marketing communications of The Heritage Collective, the beloved cultural precinct on Cottesloe Beach in Perth.
My career began at the sharp end of fashion — fetching coffee for Plum Sykes at British Vogue, working on dresses for the Princess of Wales at The Chelsea Design Co., and pressing Steve Irwin's khakis for The Crocodile Hunter. I went on to write for ELLE, Grazia, and The Sydney Morning Herald, serve as fashion and beauty editor at The Sunday Times and The Courier Mail, and crafted the voice of Elle MacPherson's wellness brand WelleCo. I have styled campaigns and events for Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Tiffany & Co., Ralph Lauren, and Bulgari.
At the heart of it all is a single belief: that style and design — whether in words, spaces, or how we dress — have the power to change how we experience the world.
