Chief Sub-Editor and Writer, Houzz Australia and New Zealand. I love design and architecture that is thoughtful, sophisticated and champions an element of the unexpected. Before graduating with a Bachelor of Arts at UNSW and becoming a journalist, I studied interior architecture. For over a decade I have interviewed inspiring creative minds from around the world to write about design in its many different forms. Recently, I have also become an accidental gardener, to everyone's surprise.

Thanks so much for the feature! Love these doors!
Some of those garages are beautifully integrated with the architecture of the house - but when it comes to thinking what I could do with my existing garage door, it's number 5 that I've saved!
Wow that looks good
