sisällä, meaning ‘inside’ in Finnish

 

In the realm of interior design, I possess an innate talent for translating a client's unique essence into exquisite, one-of-a-kind living spaces. Each project is an expression of texture and color, form and space. Because your needs, desires and lifestyle are unique and your home should reflect that.

The art of transforming spaces, turning them into backdrops that not only elevate everyday life but also make your lifestyle a whole lot easier and more beautiful. That's where I shine, bringing my expertise to the table.

Allow me to introduce myself as the founding director of Sisällä, a sanctuary of interior design nestled within the vibrant heart of Melbourne, Australia. Over the course of more than two decades, I have worked extensively across various interior design sectors from the residential abodes to the realm of commercial and retail design. I possess the distinction of a Bachelor of Design in Interior Design with Honors from Swinburne, alongside a Diploma of Arts in Interior Design & Decoration from RMIT.

Sisällä came to life in 2012, born out of a fervent desire to craft opulent spaces that mirror the unique context, lifestyles, and personal desires of my clients. Our studio name, "sisällä," which means "inside" in Finnish, is a heartfelt tribute to my ancestors and a nod to my deep affection for Scandinavian-inspired interiors that seamlessly fuse aesthetics with functionality.

Our projects at Sisällä have had the honor of gracing the stages of renowned awards programs, including the prestigious Australian Interior Design Awards. And let's not forget, we're practically regulars as five-time finalists in House & Garden's Top 50 Rooms.

Sharing is caring, and I'm all about it! I take immense joy in mentoring both seasoned pros and emerging designers through The Design Society and software courses.

I can also add author with the 2023 release of The New French Look and in 2024 Beachside Modern.
