STUDIO

 

The Kelly Ross design studio has been operating for 12 years based in Sydney Australia. Projects have been varied and diverse across multiple states and locations within the offerings of boutique hotels, foyers, restaurants, bars, clubs, pubs, retail concept stores, product launches, immersive event installation, residential homes, home-warehouses & mud brick cottages.

Each project is an opportunity to examine and explore the individual and their unique set of needs that are understood and expressed through design.

The more we can explore the things you love that light you up the more we can appreciate the pain points and assist you to let go of outdated modes of living and support best practise in work and life.

We are committed to help you co-create and connect with a design that is truly yours and from there create a space, home or business that is charismatic, soulful and intelligent.

 
 

KELLY ROSS

 

Kelly Ross grew up on the edge of a national park in Perth WA. Being surrounded by the Australian bush landscape honed a deep connection and lifelong relationship to nature & imagination.

Kelly earned a double degree in Human Environment Design & Set Design & Construction at Curtin University. Human Environment Design combined studies in psychology, Interior design & architecture to explore & apply the connection between people & place.

Melbourne signalled the starting place of a 13-year career with large touring musicals. National & international touring as Head Props Maker / Prop Operator & Scenic Artist on productions including Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Dusty Springfield & The Producers to name a few.

Postgrad studies at the International School of Colour & Design in Sydney lead to a Diploma in Interior Styling and a position on staff, educating within the Interior Styling & Interior Design diplomas for 6 years alongside KR Design Studio projects.

The natural progression of Kelly’s love of the natural world, travel, art, history, music & people have culminated in her unique approach to design.
