CREATE THE
PERFECT
DESK SPACE...How important is your work
desk to your business? I have
two separate work desks. My
Sydney work desk (pictured) is
where most of the “business”
stuff is done, and my NYC desk
is where the designing is done.
Both are equally as important
as each other and they both
have a very similar vibe.Tell us about your workspace.
Head office is an old electrical
substation in Sydney. When we
moved in, it was completely
gutted and everything was
white, so it was a beautiful
canvas. The three windowsstream light throughout the day- for about 30 mins each day I
have to wear sunglasses at my
desk! (Because its bright, not
because I’m hungover!)
What kind of trinkets or pieces
do you keep on your desk?
I try to keep it pretty minimal
and clean. I like greenery, and
due to my role as creative
director at Yellowglen, I always
have a few bottles on my desk
from the latest collection.Anything sentimental? In the
drawers there is every single
printed catalogue we’ve done
in the past 10 years. Sometimes
I go through those and go on
a trip down memory lane.“If work is stressful, take
five. Instead of writing a
fierce email, walk around
the block. Always eat
breakfast – don’t rely on
caffeine to get you going.
After eight hours of
fasting, your brain needs
glucose to start your
day.” – Dr John D’Arcy,
