Australia and now Switzerland. Why? As an interior architect, I've had the privilege of working on projects across the globe, each one offering a unique opportunity to explore and embrace different cultural perspectives. In this latest article for Meter Magazine, you'll get a glimpse into my journey from Australia to Switzerland, starting my own business and expanding into the production of my own furniture line. Discover some of the inspiration behind my work, as Celia from Meter Magazine and I delve into the notions of the balance of functionality and aesthetics that underpins my practice. I share insights into my creative process, the challenges I've faced, and the lessons I've learned along the way. Whether you're an architecture enthusiast, a design aficionado, or simply someone who appreciates the art of thoughtful spaces, take a peak.

After a few weeks of what I'd call a "soft launch" into the commercial & institutional #interiordesign space, I wanted to officially update my network that I am serving as editor-in-chief on i+s Magazine - that's interiors + sources, in case you didn't know! (Still working on LEDs Magazine - very different audience, though.) 😉 I'm delighted to be working with esteemed editors as part of the architectural & design team at Endeavor Business Media (closely related publications BUILDINGS and Architectural Products), including Robert Nieminen, Janelle Penny, Lauren Brant, and Jeanie Fitzgerald. This is such an exciting time full of possibilities in the A&D space. Yes, there is a lot of concern about open #realestate and the future of commercial buildings. But that's a GOOD thing, in my opinion, because it opens the door to productive conversations about reinventing or reconfiguring those environments to better meet objectives for wellbeing, connection, and sustainability. Between #adaptivereuse of buildings, efforts toward embracing #universaldesign, options for multipurpose spaces, and so much more, there is no end to what the interior design profession can bring to the table. "Design with purpose" is the tagline on i+s for a reason. Far beyond "pretty pictures," i+s seeks to deliver inspiration, solutions, industry insights, and educational support for interior design professionals. If I could do it without hurting myself, I'd be doing this right now... 🤸♀️ I'm far too out of practice, so instead I'll settle for this: 💃 Bookmark https://www.iands.design/ and please reach out with proposed content, notable projects, and innovative products for the design audience.

In an era where personalization is paramount, the pursuit of custom interior design has taken center stage in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sectors. As we delve into this transformative approach, it is clear that the integration of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, digital twins, and 3D modeling is redefining our understanding of space. Custom interior design is not merely about aesthetic appeal; it involves crafting unique environments tailored to client specifications. This innovative methodology drives notable benefits: heightened client satisfaction, optimized space utilization, and a stronger brand identity. However, the path to successful implementation is not devoid of challenges. Issues such as managing client expectations, delivering projects within timelines and budgets, and incorporating sustainable practices necessitate careful navigation. To further explore these complexities and innovations in custom interior design, I will be conducting a comprehensive investigation into the latest trends and technological advancements that are shaping our industry. I invite you to share your insights and experiences regarding custom interior design. How have these practices influenced your projects? What hurdles have you encountered? Let us engage in a meaningful dialogue about the future of design in our industry. #CustomInteriorDesign #Architecture #Engineering #Construction #AECInnovation #SustainableDesign #DigitalTransformation #3DModeling #ClientSatisfaction

Elevating Projects, Empowering People: In the world of interior architecture, there is a design approach that has the power to transform spaces and shape exceptional experiences. It's called human-centered design, and it is the key to achieving unparalleled success in any project. At its core, human-centered design is about putting people first. It means understanding the needs, desires, and behaviors of the individuals who will use a space. By immersing ourselves in their world, we gain valuable insights that guide our design decisions. Why is human-centered design so important? Because it creates spaces that truly resonate with people. It goes beyond aesthetics and functionality to touch the hearts and minds of those who experience it. When spaces are thoughtfully designed to enhance well-being, productivity, and happiness, the impact is profound, leaving a lasting impression. #vision2030 #saudiprojects
