I’m Mel

I am the founder of Mave Design.

Mave Design was born from an obsession with interiors and renovating. It grew organically from guiding friends renovations into a business that soon outgrew me; leading to personal & professional burnout. I have now scaled Mave back to taking only a handful of projects per year - to ensure I am still providing all the love and attention that each project deserves and enabling me time to keep my creative and personal wellbeing in balance.

Please reach out if my ethos resonates with you & your home or retreat (though I think they should be one and the same thing!)

Our homes should be an ever evolving curation of all that we love and need. A space of respite; nourishing the soul and supporting us in this crazy human experience we call life.

A Professional Photographer, qualified Interior Designer & self taught multi-media artist. The interaction of these visual arts leads to self expression & exploration. You can see more of my creative work here: melvk.com.au

I am a mother to two spirited small humans and one adorable fur babe. I navigate life with my best mate and hubby and feel most at home with my family, barefoot in the sand or playing in the snow.

Nature and creativity ground me.

Music and books inspire me.

Laughter and sunshine restore me.

Kindness and love guide me.
