ABOUT

Access All Areas Design was created from a belief that accessibility and inclusion should be part of good design from the start – not added later, and not treated as a compromise.

I’m a Melbourne-based, qualified Access Consultant working across buildings, events, and public-realm projects. I support organisations, designers, and project teams at different stages of design and delivery, helping identify barriers early, meet access requirements, and create environments that work well for a wide range of people.

Alongside access consulting, I am the lead accessibility content contributor for the City of Melbourne’s What’s On visitor guide, writing accessibility-related listings and articles. This work highlights the accessible features of places, including restaurants, cultural venues, and experiences, to help people plan visits with confidence. I also write long-form editorial pieces exploring access and inclusion.

My work extends beyond consulting and writing. I’m a member of the Victorian Disability Advisory Council and the Victorian State Disability Plan Consultative Group, and I regularly contribute to panels, discussions, and advisory forums on access, inclusion, and the built environment.

With a background in project and client management across media, film, and small business, I bring a practical, collaborative approach to my work.

I’m particularly passionate about inclusive design that is beautiful, seamless, and functional.

At the heart of my work is a simple idea: when design considers everyone, experiences are better for all.
