Melanie Clarke helps to facilitate design concepts by balancing a clear vision with a systematic approach and her design aesthetic leans towards references to nature and the organic form. She digs deep to find the underlying story that will make every project unique and complete through its form. Fusing lifestyle needs with conceptual design, she explores ideas based on how people will best be served with buildings and spaces. Melanie approaches every project with a fresh perspective to create something different and through collaboration, discovery and sketching, allows for new opportunities to learn and grow within her craft.
I’ve learned a lot from, and am inspired by, travelling and doing things that are beyond my comfort zone.
