Marylou Sobel – Head Designer/Principal

With four decades of design experience in the industry, I commenced my career in Australia 27 years ago, eventually finding my professional home in this Woollahra studio nearly five years ago. Design isn’t merely a profession for me; it’s a lifelong passion that has defined my journey from an early age.

Even in my youth, I possessed an acute awareness of my surroundings, drawn to the beauty and elegance of well-designed spaces. As early as 8 years old, I found myself yearning to curate and create, with a desire to transform even my own bedroom into a haven of personal expression.

My inherent design style reflects an eclectic blend of influences, notably inspired by European aesthetics. I have a keen eye for detail, finding beauty in the intricacies of ornate cornices, refined skirting, and the transformative power of exquisite lighting. To me, home represents more than mere shelter; it’s a canvas for artistic expression, a sanctuary where every detail contributes to a harmonious whole.

STEPHANIE NADEL – ASSOCIATE Designer

I am the Associate Designer here at Marylou Sobel Interior Design. My journey began with a Bachelor of Interior Architecture right here in Australia, but it was my international ventures that truly shaped my expertise. Immersing myself in the vibrant design scenes abroad, I had the privilege of collaborating with some of the industry’s most renowned firms, gaining invaluable knowledge and experience along the way.

Now working at MSID, I bring with me a passion for revitalising existing spaces. There’s something truly magical about breathing new life into old narratives, drawing inspiration from the rich heritage and stories that have unfolded before us. Working alongside Marylou is nothing short of inspiring. Her eye for detail and innate talent for bringing visions to life elevate every project we undertake. It’s so inspiring to work alongside such a talented and driven team, it really encourages us all to bring new heights of creativity and excellence to every project.

OLIVIA IRWIN – SENIOR Designer

I’m the Senior Designer here at Marylou Sobel Interior Design, where I’ve been captivating spaces with this team since August 2023. Prior to joining Marylou, I honed my skills over five dynamic years in residential design, immersing myself in the intricate space of interior architecture.

My passion for design and textiles has been a guiding force throughout my journey, igniting a creative spark that fuels my work every day. What sets Marylou’s studio apart is not just the stunning projects we produce, but the incredible support within our team. It’s more than a workplace; it’s a collaborative sanctuary where ideas and innovation thrive.

Marylou herself is not just an employer but a beacon of inspiration and guidance. Her mentorship has been invaluable, pushing me to new heights of creativity. Every day in this dynamic environment is an opportunity to learn, grow, and contribute to something truly remarkable.

BLANKA JUKANTO – INTERMEDIATE Designer

I’m the Intermediate Designer at Marylou Sobel Interior Design, and it’s been an incredible three-year journey! My passion lies in interior architecture, and this job opportunity marked the beginning of my professional career in the field of interior design. Starting off as a junior and now standing proudly as an intermediate, I’ve witnessed firsthand the magic of progression within this dynamic team.

What truly captivated me about Marylou’s ethos is our unwavering commitment to detail. Every project we take on is a masterpiece in precision and thoughtfulness. I thrive in the intricate approach of our design process, where no detail is too small to escape our keen eye. It’s this depth and richness in our approach that fuels my passion for what I do.

Stephanie Nadel

Assosciate Interior Architect

What makes Stephanie Nadel’s success story so remarkable is that she has come so far, so fast.
Stephanie, the Associate Interior Architect at Marylou Sobel Interior Design, has gained more experience, and handled more responsibilities in the past ten years than many other design professionals take on in their careers.

Stephanie, a multi-talented full service professional, carried out a wide variety of commercial and residential design tasks while she was based in London. She worked for three prominent interior design firms, as well as on her own, and served clients around the world.

In the process, she helped complete within 12 weeks the design and installation of a penthouse suite on The World, the luxury residential yacht that circumnavigates the globe. Prior to this Stephanie lead the full refurbishment of a lavish, Grade II listed, five bedroom home in the Hampstead Garden suburbs in London.

During her five years in London, she worked with Gensler, the world’s largest collaborative design, planning and consulting firm; MoreySmith, a leading design and architecture studio, and Fiona Barratt Interiors, an award-winning luxury design firm.

Assisting with projects for those firms, launching her own residential practice, and interacting with vendors worldwide provided her with project management, creative problem solving, sourcing, technical and other skills that benefit her clients today.

Stephanie earned her Bachelor of Interior Architecture degree at the University of New South Wales.

While she is adept in several aspects of design, she’s particularly interested in the challenge of refurbishing existing spaces. “I enjoy the problem solving that’s involved with existing buildings,” she says. “Although it is always a privilege to design alongside a team to create new and innovative structures, I love creating meaningful design from older properties and taking inspiration from heritage details.”
