The CLU Collection furniture

Made in Australia. Canadian at heart.

I love design. As a self-taught furniture designer, my passion for design started when I was nine years old. I would draw the exterior and interior layouts of homes for countless hours. 

I fostered my creative journey with roles in marketing, designing houses and interior design over 12 years. My passion cumulated in several marketing and design awards for the company I worked for. My design ethos has always been about functionality leading design. It’s about practicality and the human experience. 

In 2011, a dream trip to Australia changed my life and I decided to set up roots. The next step of the creative journey lead me to open a furniture store in Melbourne. It was a natural evolution to start designing furniture after a long design stint in Canada. My CLU collection melds considered design, functionality and quality for compact spaces. Each piece is handcrafted by artisans in Melbourne with a focus on environmental responsibility and celebrating local craftsmanship. Supporting local makers is something I have always believed in. 

I hope you love my furniture as much as I love designing the pieces.
