The Studio
We’ve been in our studio in Woollahra now for 3 ½ years now, and every day I am still so thrilled this is where Marylou Sobel Interior Design has its home. This year Stephanie returned from maternity leave after the birth of her second child (my grandson). Not only is it great to have her back working alongside me again, but she is now also enjoying her new senior position as Associate Interior Architect. Well done Stephanie, I am looking forward to continuing to watch you grow in 2023.
Blanka has been part of the team for almost two years now, and Hannah, our newest member of the MSID studio has completed her first full year here. They’ve both been an incredible asset to the team, the energy in the studio is so inspiring. We also have a lot of fun and laugh a lot!
The Projects
The projects we have been working on in 2022 are amazing and so exciting to work on – the clients we are working with have been really fantastic. We recently installed a project that we have been working on for the past year, with the rest spilling into next year, but we are doing what we love and designing entire homes. The scope of work has been really broad which keeps it interesting and exciting for all involved, and we are working really well with our clients.
The Processes
One of the reasons we have been working with our clients so well this year is potentially because we introduced new processes. I’ve been working on this for a couple of years now, but 2021/22 saw this properly integrated into our daily practice and they’ve really made a huge difference.
The People
Not only have my team and my clients been an absolute pleasure to work with this year, but so have our tradespeople. Over the years we have forged strong, meaningful relationships and it really does show in the quality and finish of all of our work.
And not only those people that you may see if you work with us, but those behind the scenes working alongside me too. From the reach, creativity and brand awareness our marketing agency delivers, to the fantastic support my PA Irina has given me throughout the year, across to my finances always being kept in perfect order thanks to my bookkeepers, accountant and financial advisor.
I am looking forward to working with everyone again in the new year and for many years to come.
Personally…
Outside of the studio, this year I travelled overseas for the first time in three years, with a memorable trip to France with my husband Robin. It was fabulous and inspiring to be in Paris at the same time as the Maison et Objet exhibition. Not forgetting inspiration right here in Sydney at the Design Show Australia, which is always great to attend.
What’s in store for 2023
I am excited to see the projects we have been working hard on in 2022 coming to fruition in 2023. Meeting new clients and starting new projects is always exciting for me too. And of course, looking forward to more travel in 2023.
It really has been a fantastic year with a fabulous team and I’m looking forward to what the new year will bring! To beautiful design always.
