Who is Birdrock Studio?
The Mornington Peninsula? It's in my blood.
Back when Mount Martha was just a little sleepy hamlet, I was fossicking on South Beach, collecting shells like they were treasure and building epic sandcastles. Summers spent with salty skin and sticky ice-cream fingers, and winters curled up infront of the log fire playing board games.
Now, let's talk about my other lifelong love – real estate and interior design. My dear dad, he was the original property guru, dragging me along to every Open for Inspection in our neighbourhood. We'd stroll through these houses, totally reimagining them in our heads. It was our secret hobby.
My creative career path has been quite the whirlwind, taking me on a journey through Visual Merchandising, Fashion Design, Retail Buying, and Styling. But you know what? I couldn't resist the siren call of Interior Design, and in 2021, I jumped headfirst back into it.
Armed with a Bachelor of Arts in Fashion Design and a Diploma of Interior Design (I even snagged the 'Victorian Graduate of the Year' award from the Design Institute of Australia in 2021), my focus is on bringing life to spaces through a thoughtful blend of color, texture, scale, and form. Striking that balance between beauty and functionality is what I'm all about.
When I'm not deep in design mode, you'll find me exploring the Peninsula with my husband, daughter, our one-eyed greyhound, Emmy, and a glass of local Pinot in hand!
