Inspired by diverse cultures, global travel, and the beauty of nature, the artist’s practice bridges visual art, design, and spatial experience. Their work is driven by a desire to inspire through thoughtfully curated artworks, products, and environments that are both personal and purposeful.

Based in Melbourne, the artist holds specialised training in visual art and interior design, with over 25 years of experience across the creative industries. Their career spans residential and hospitality design, product development, and fine art, allowing for a holistic, multidisciplinary approach to each project. Recently, they established a boutique studio, offering a highly tailored approach to design and visual art for private and commercial clients.

The artist’s strengths lie in refined aesthetic judgement, effective problem-solving, and a consistent commitment to delivering distinctive, well-considered outcomes while remaining mindful of budget and context.

Born in Guam to a family immersed in the hospitality industry, the artist’s childhood included living across Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Germany, and the United States. These formative experiences fostered a deep appreciation for cultural diversity and design versatility, later informing projects undertaken internationally in cities including New York, Delhi, Sydney, Bangkok, Singapore, Tokyo, Melbourne, and Auckland.

Throughout their career, the artist has collaborated with leading studios on award-winning projects, receiving multiple international design awards for hotel and restaurant design. Their visual art and product designs have been featured in luxury residential developments, high-end hospitality spaces, galleries, and curated exhibitions.
