The process

Choose your own adventure.

Each design is a bespoke and personal journey into the unexpected.

Through curiosity, research and discovery, we craft a conceptual story that works like a compass. We take your inspiration, memories, favourite songs and laundry list and alchemise them into something more valuable than their parts, something profoundly golden to you, a North Star.

We offer several approaches to the service we provide, amongst them, a collaborative approach designed for you to feel like the heartbeat of the design is yours so you can build your design vocabulary, we can collect and curate the vintage, one of a kind find, furniture or artwork pieces, consult on particular aspects of the design : ie colour, or offer complete and distinct stages of a full design service.

We work instinctively and create unique worlds alongside the many dreamers and do-ers we collaborate with.

Good design should feel as familiar and awe inspiring as the cycles within nature.

MAKE MAGIC

 VALUES + PHILOSOPHY

  • Collage with rocks and colour blocks

    Creativity

    Creativity creates new possibilities and opportunities, it is a commitment to look at the world in a certain way & see things not as they are but in what’s possible.

  • Translucent petals

    Transparency

    Whether things are good or bad, information is conveyed openly. Communication and accountability is at the heart of this.

  • A styled scene of granite and stone.

    Resourcefulness

    Inventive and bold in spirit, seeing the inherent value in things, redefining and reframing them to have new value.

  • Balance sculpture

    Integrity

    A fundamental and foundational block on which relationship and trust are established. Moral and ethical choices to always do the right thing no matter who’s watching.

KELLY ROSS IS a multidisciplinary designer, creative director, educator, and experiential maker working across material exploration, immersive environments, storytelling, education, and community-led creative systems.

Kelly Ross is principal and founder of the Sydney based design studio renown for conceptually led, highly bespoke and personal design across interiors, immersive installations, boutique and luxury hotels, hospitality, product design and fabrication.

With studies in Human Environment Design (psychology, architecture and interiors) and a background in touring technical theatre, Kelly’s practice is deeply rooted in how environments influence behaviour, memory, and subconscious experience.

Curiosity carves out Kelly’s approach to building distinct and unique worlds that are complete and compelling, none of which are possible without the collaborative relationships with artists, fabricators and other designers to create thought provoking and long lasting sensorial experiences.

Kelly’s inspiration is fuelled by travel, research, futures thinking, circular design principals, creative immersion in the zeitgeist and the wonders of the natural world.

We acknowledge that this research, design and creative work is happening on unceded Saltwater Country. We pay our respect to all of the people connected to the kinship system of this Country including the Dharawal, the Dharug, the Eora, the Gaimaragal, the Gundungurra and the Guringai. 

We respect the wisdom of the Elders past, present and emerging. This continent always was and always will be Aboriginal Land.
