Meet Lynda
Founder & Creative Director
With 20 years in the design industry, you could say Lynda knows interiors (an understatement!). With a style that has been refined over the years, Lynda loves creating contemporary interiors with a nod to modern farmhouse style.
Her clients always guide the aesthetic direction, as she designs for their preferences first and foremost. Having worked with luxury retailers including Orson and Blake and Coco Republic, in 2019 Lynda started her design studio to share her passion for high-end interiors and has been forging a name for herself ever since. Her Maison Cruz project was awarded a 12-page feature in Home Beautiful magazine (a true “pinch me” moment) and her amazing clients continue to give her the creative freedom to showcase her talent in creating aspirational interiors.

For Lynda, the best part of the job is getting to know her clients and designing them a space that enhances their daily lives - one they can’t wait to come home to every day.
Lynda has a knack for asking the right questions to get to know her clients and feel as though she’s a part of the family.
And if you have any furry friends, she will greet them as if they are her own. Most days, Lynda can be found on site, exploring new furniture stores or in her studio with her two fur babies sitting under the desk while she works on creating your dream home.
Love Notes
Hiring an Interior Designer to help is an expense many people aren't exactly prepared for. It seems like you can figure things out on your own, but do yourself a favor and please hire Lynda!! She is the ultimate professional who guided us through the process seamlessly. She listened to our wants and needs as a young family and delivered beyond our highest expectations. Her vision and styling of our space brings us such joy everywhere we look! She seamlessly sourced our furniture for a big 3 bed house as well as professionally coordinated trades and deliveries which took so much stress off our plates! Undoubtedly one of the best decisions we have ever made!! Thank you so much Lynda!

Lynda and I collaborate on projects in the professional space. I work as a PM and Estimator for Builder's throughout Australia and Lynda's attention to detail from documentation to communication with clients, Builder's and all consultants is always too the highest of standards. Not only does Lynda deliver a beautiful product but she is always happy and fun to work with! I could not recommend Lynda enough to any Builders and clients who want to engage with an Interior Designer service. Photo's do not do justice for the quality of design and aesthetic that she creates for her clients.

Lynda was an absolute pleasure to work with. She has the perfect balance of professionalism and yet understanding and connecting with you like a best friend. We have worked with a number of designers before but Lynda was by far the best in her understanding, advice, and wisdom. The results speak volumes to the quality of her work. She has a natural talent and ability in translating our words and feelings into quality furnishings, finishes and renovated spaces. We felt completely at ease entrusting Lynda with the design, selections, overseeing the construction, and craftsmanship with the tradespeople and placing all the details for our final reveal. I cried on seeing our dream spaces come to life, exceeding our expectations in every way. Thank you Lynda for all you do, we are so very grateful.
