We acknowledge the Gubbi Gubbi people, the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live. We pay our respects to Elders, past and present of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nations.

Earlier this year, I found myself thinking more ab Earlier this year, I found myself thinking more about the noise we’re all met with every time we pick up our phones. 

So much of what we scroll past isn’t meaningful — it doesn’t really stay with us, or add anything of value. Things move quickly, and our inboxes are constantly full. 

It made me pause and ask: if this were the last newsletter someone read, or the last post they came across, would it offer something worthwhile?

That question has inspired a whole new approach to how I share in our monthly newsletter.

It’s less about polished headlines and more about the moments behind the scenes; the process, the heart behind decisions, the details that often go unseen.

Think of it as an open journal (like Substack perhaps; but free?) — part love letter to the work, part insight into how it all comes together.

Figtree will forever be etched in our hearts! This Figtree will forever be etched in our hearts! This project enquiry came in right after all the lockdowns, and I was so excited to work on such a beautiful home. 

Over the course of about two years, we carefully married existing pieces, with vintage heirloom pieces; and new furniture, objects and art, to create a home that feels full of warmth and personalised character. 

Scroll to see some of our favourite scenes in Figtree; recently published in Home Beautiful magazine. 

If you’d like us to style your home and get it ready for a shoot day, get in touch with us.

Can’t wait to watch this all unfold! 

P.S. Adrian is a high performance coach and has his Limitless Mens Retreat coming up, April 16th-19th 2026. I have heard such wonderful things about these retreats, if you are (or know) a man that would love this retreat then visit his socials to find out more.

A thoughtful fusion of new, handmade, and vintage pieces, Hannah and her husband Sam have curated a home that feels both personal and creative; a space that truly reflects the way their family lives.

Styling a shoot with our team for a New York–based magazine… in a home my school bus used to drive past every day felt like a real full-circle moment for me!

Two projects. Two completely different stories. D Two projects. Two completely different stories.

Different homes, different clients, different visions; and that’s exactly what makes styling and creative direction so special.

Celebrating individuality, one project at a time. The only thing is; it’s bittersweet when we’re all finished! 

Both photographed by the talented @mindicooke for our features in @bellemagazineau and @homebeautiful.
Celebrating the night that was; a very special com Celebrating the night that was; a very special community event put on by Melbourne based (and made!) brand @madebytait.

Even though the rain forecast threatened to dampen the party spirits (and then go on later to destroy my beautifully blow dried hair... lol), the Sunshine Coast design community really showed up and an amazing night was had by all. 

It was such inspiring conversation by panellists Erin McDonald @Blaklash, Lee Brennan @leebrennandesign and Susan Tait @madebytait. 

You know a party is good when everyone lingers for another two hours after chatting and making friends. ⁠I can’t wait to do it again!
