About Proud Mary Stylist

20 Years of Melbourne Design Experience

I have always been drawn to how a space makes you feel. Before I started Proud Mary Stylist, I spent 20 years working with iconic Australian furniture designers and retailers. This time shaped my understanding of quality, scale, and colour. I led one of the industry’s first sustainability programs long before it was common. This taught me to value conscious design and pieces that last. In 2021, I left the corporate world to launch my own boutique studio.

As an
interior designer in Melbourne, my approach is always guided by the way my clients live, not just how they want their home to look. I design with their lifestyle, routines and personality in mind, while gently pushing their style in a direction that makes the most of the space.

Interior Styling for Melbourne Terraces and Modern Homes

What began with a few projects has grown into a portfolio of bespoke interiors across Melbourne. I work on Victorian terraces, mid-century houses, and sleek city apartments.

My clients often feel stuck or overwhelmed by choices. They stay for the clarity and confidence I bring to the project. I am not just here to make things look pretty. I am here to guide you and bring joy back into the process. Whether you are renovating for the first time or simply ready for a change, I make the journey easier.

Bathroom Renovations and Living Room Styling

Proud Mary is evolving. I am taking on more ambitious projects and expanding my range under Proud Mary Home. This is a sustainable, made-to-order cushion collection made locally in Melbourne.

I bring the same energy to every task, from a bathroom renovation to a living room refresh. I source the right fabrics, coordinate the trades, and find the pieces that fit your life. I believe design should be personal and never boring. And yes, a great cushion combo can still change your whole day.

Let’s Create Your Home Together

Your dream space is closer than you think. If you are ready to transform your home or workplace, I want to hear your ideas. Whether you are refreshing a family home or updating a workspace, I bring twenty years of expertise to the job.

I work throughout Melbourne and can help you turn your vision into a real space that makes you feel proud.
