Meet the designer

Hey-hey,
I'm Shae.

An aspiring interior architect with a love for spaces that feel like stepping into a storybook.

Travel, mythologies and the natural world are in the driver's seat of my imagination. I love turning these influences into designs that create space for people to explore, feel and connect. I'm especially curious about experiential design, where an atmosphere and experience lingers with someone long after they have left.

Please, step into the labyrinth of my mind and take a look around...
