Chief Sub-Editor and Writer, Houzz Australia and New Zealand. I love design and architecture that is thoughtful, sophisticated and champions an element of the unexpected. Before graduating with a Bachelor of Arts at UNSW and becoming a journalist, I studied interior architecture. For over a decade I have interviewed inspiring creative minds from around the world to write about design in its many different forms. Recently, I have also become an accidental gardener, to everyone's surprise.

My favourite coffee-break escape so far. It's difficult to find art deco inspiration that's not too over-done, but there were lots of stunning examples here.
Love seeing some rich blues re-appearing!
love the variety of choices and some so simple to do ... I saw a curved cupboard with 1/2 dowels glued to its exterior. an amazing result for a simple addition.
