At Georgia Cannon we create spaces that are personal, practical and beautifully resolved.
Bigger doesn’t always mean better
We believe in quality over quantity. Sometimes a small intervention is all that’s required, other times it’s a comprehensive overhaul. Either way we tailor our solutions to suit the brief, context and budget.
Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water
Spaces, and the people that inhabit them, come with history and context. We love to discover and celebrate them within every new intervention.
It’s not me, it’s you
We don’t design with a particular style or outcome in mind. We seek to simplify the everyday, elevate the mundane, and inspire delight in daily rituals. Our spaces reflect the individuality of their occupants.
Trust the process
Great outcomes rely on good processes. Ours is grounded in proven systems and clear communication throughout every stage of the project.
Think globally, act locally
We have an affinity for locally sourced products, craftspeople and artists bolstered, where appropriate, by overseas finds tailored to each clients’ experience, tastes and interests.
Drawing on a Bachelor of Built Environment and over twenty years of industry experience, our Design Director, Georgia, has developed a broad range of skills and knowledge across residential and commercial sectors.
She graduated from the Queensland University of Technology in 2007 and was recognised early for her strengths in both concept development and communication, receiving the Artichoke Award for Excellence in Visual and Written Communication, being named a finalist in the DIA QDOS Awards Emerging Student Designer category and participating in The SHAPE of Things to Come graduate showcase.
Georgia cut her teeth at HASSELL in Brisbane, including a project-specific secondment to their Bangkok studio, and dKO Architecture in Melbourne and Sydney. She returned to Brisbane in 2013 to establish her own design practice, and in 2017 was shortlisted in the Emerging Designer category of the Interior Design Excellence Awards.
In 2020, after relocating to Sydney, Georgia paused her solo practice to undertake a five-year sabbatical focused on broadening her professional experience. During this time, she established the first in-house interior design team at DAH Architecture in Brisbane (working remotely through COVID lock-downs), led the Sydney office of Foolscap Studio, and worked client-side within the newly formed Merivale in-house design team.
Georgia takes pride in seeing projects through from start to finish, including briefing, concept development, design development, documentation and on site delivery.
