Ever since I can remember, I have been fascinated by the way people live. This led me to pursue a degree in interior design, and once I started working in the industry, I never looked back.
Over the course of 14 years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with incredible design and architecture firms across Melbourne and Sweden, each experience adding to my skill set and refining the way I approach design.
Now, I bring all that knowledge and passion into running my own studio, where I help clients transform their spaces into something truly special.

I founded Allawah Studio to continue my passion for helping people realise their dream spaces. Every project is an opportunity to blend creativity and practicality, ensuring that each space not only looks amazing but also feels like home.
Our approach goes beyond just design work. It's about listening, communicating, and guiding the entire process. Understanding our clients needs is fundamental to creating a great outcome.

Every design starts with an initial idea. We then work with our clients to expand and explore that idea, to create something truly beautiful. Each project is different and each project tells the story of the people who live there with purpose and authenticity. Attention to detail, material quality, and client storytelling are key elements in our design approach.

The name Allawah comes from the local Aboriginal term meaning 'make your abode here' or 'remain here'. To me, it’s a personal reflection on a pivotal time in my life when I first started working independently as a designer after returning from living abroad. It’s also the street name of where I lived, a constant reminder of the importance of a home, a place that supports your dreams, aspirations and well-being.
