ABOUT ME
Design Philosophy
Nature belongs in everyday life, and design is one of the most direct ways to bring it in. I treat connection to the living world as a core part of every project, not a space-filler.
That stance sits on the biophilia hypothesis: humans have an innate pull toward nature. Environmental psychology shows why that pull matters. Visual and sensory contact with nature can lower heart rate, blood pressure and cortisol, lift mood, and restore attention after mental fatigue. Roger Ulrich’s 1984 hospital study found that surgical patients with a window view of trees recovered faster and needed less pain medication than matched patients facing a brick wall. Attention Restoration Theory explains the cognitive side: nature offers “soft fascination,” so directed attention can recover. Bringing nature into a room is therefore a way to support restorative experience, not only appearance.
In practice this means working with the site rather than overlaying it. Daylight, framed views, outdoor connections, living plants, natural materials, and patterns drawn from nature’s own geometries are design strategies, not decoration. The aim is an interior that looks, considered and also supports how people feel and function in it: calmer, more focused, and more at home.
About Me
Drawing on the leadership, organisation, attention to detail, and human-centred skills I developed during my 12+ years in the Royal Australian Air Force, I create spaces that are thoughtfully tailored to the people who use them.
I’m an Interior and Spatial Designer dedicated to creating timeless, functional, and nature-inspired spaces. I believe thoughtfully integrated greenery and natural elements help transform houses into true homes, and I’m passionate about designing interiors that are both beautiful and highly practical.
