Beyond project delivery, Ornella is shaping the future of our industry through her selection in the Property Council’s 500 Women in Property program, championing diversity and mentorship in the built environment. Within Studio.SC, she continues to inspire our team, strengthen client relationships, and help define our culture. This promotion reflects her exceptional contribution to our practice, our clients, and the wider industry.
Since joining Studio.SC, Minda has drawn on her extensive experience across residential, mixed-use, hospitality, and retirement living projects to deliver interiors that seamlessly integrate creativity, functionality, and innovation with the architectural vision of our work. Her ability to translate complex client needs into elegant, practical solutions has been evident, where she consistently delivers outcomes that elevate both design and user experience.

Minda’s ability to combine deep expertise with fresh energy has made her an invaluable part of our team, and this promotion celebrates her significant impact on our interior's portfolio and our growing leadership group. We look forward to her continued leadership in shaping the future of our interiors work.
“I’m grateful for the chance to work on projects that bring both challenge and excitement. There’s satisfaction in collaborating with such a talented team and clients who inspire us to keep elevating our design outcomes.
