The opportunity to influence, mould and shape lives is what makes design so appealing.

Zoe Bodvai

As a designer, I help create experiences, memories, and influence emotion – it’s my responsibility to connect with people on an interpersonal level.

Understanding your client, the users of a space, the environmental position and the geographical location of a project is what differentiates ordinary design from good design. I believe my classes at Monash set a solid framework for successful design implementation by focusing on design research and process – they showed me the foundation of ‘good design’.

After receiving my Bachelor of Interior Architecture at Monash University, I have had the opportunity to be based in Melbourne, Toronto and Los Angeles, working in a wide range of project sectors globally as a Designer and Project Manager, including: Corporate Campus, Mixed-Use Development, Aviation, Retail and Hospitality. I've spent the last 12 years working at top Architecture and Design firms, Gensler and Yabu Pushelberg. I have loved watching my projects come to life, and seeing Clients enjoy the spaces our team creates! My most unique experience was attending the opening party of The Pinky Ring in Las Vegas with Bruno Mars, and watching him perform in such a uniquely intimate setting.
