a little about me <3
Hi, I’m Lou. I’m a multi-disciplinary designer, fibre artist, yogi and long-distance runner living and creating on Gadigal land (Sydney, Australia).
I draw a lot of inspiration from nature’s gentle rhythm — its stillness, and the beauty that emerges without intention.
My creativity is grounded in empathy and purpose. I care deeply about designing for people, communities, and the planet — and I’m always seeking ways to bring more thoughtfulness, joy, and meaning into the world around me.
I’m deeply curious about the world, drawn to its beauty, and open to the adventure of new experiences and life abroad.
Purposeful Disruption
Design should challenge, not conform. I’m drawn to its contradictions—its power to include or exclude, to disrupt or reinforce. By prioritising clarity, care, and collaboration, I aim to ask harder questions, embrace the margins, and create meaningful change that resists quick fixes and reaches beyond the surface.
Collective Impact
Design isn’t a solo pursuit. I believe in open sharing, cross-functional collaboration, and centreing those most affected by the work. By exchanging knowledge, elevating others, and inviting diverse voices into the process, we build more ethical, inclusive, and lasting outcomes—together.
Strategic Sympathy
Great design lies at the intersection of user needs and business goals. By adopting a systems thinking approach, I consider the broader impact on stakeholders and vision. Clear communication, strategic decisions, and data-driven solutions ensure alignment, reduce friction, and create impactful, seamless experiences for all involved.
