About Me
My Story
.
I've been writing about design and architecture for more than ten years and have been widely published in magazines and across websites in Australia and internationally. I've written media releases, blog posts, sustainability guides, designer profiles and project descriptions for all facets of the A&D industry. I've written several books, ghost written a couple more, and edited and copyedited a whole heap.
I have a masters in the history of decorative arts and design from Parsons School of Design in New York, and I love learning about understanding history through the lens of architecture, design and visual culture.

What I’ve learnt
Creativity is borne out of curiosity and constraints and it leads to clever ideas that help us live better and improve our day. That's what I love about architecture and that's what architects do best.
Architecture should be more highly valued, accessible, sustainable and widespread. Not only should everyone have the benefit of living in welldesigned houses, but it would go a long way to improving our cities, streetscapes and environment.
Every architect, designer, practice and building is different and there is always a different and unique story to tell.

Like good architecture, it’s all about the details. Don’t forget the L or you’ll end up in the wrong place. (She’s a writer too.)
