mi shack - Marcus Browne architect
“One day I got a call from a local builder who was on the look for an alternative architect-designed product which represented the ‘down south lifestyle’ but catered to client demands for a hassle-free, budget-conscious architecture in a simple design and build solution … mi shack was born.” - Marcus.
KDLA - Kelsie Davies Landscape Architecture
“I had originally intended to design mine site rehabilitation areas but once I had a taste of high-end residential, I fell in love with designing smaller more intimate settings and helping improve people's everyday lives” - Kelsie.
Narelle Wilson - socially conscious business strategist
“Small businesses like yours make up 97% of the approximately 2.4 million businesses in Australia. Even if 50% of them choose to align profit with purpose and become more sustainable – the potential for social impact is massive.”- Narelle.
Alida and Louise - Perth repurposing specialist & stylist
“What if it’s as simple as getting to know how a client would like to live and using as much as what they already have as possible with a bit of thrifted, vintage & new thrown in rather than the other way around?” - Collette.
Peter Ellery - Perth photographer
