My Philosophy
Your Home. Your Way.
Mindful design for authentic living - what does it mean?
To me, interior design is about creating a quality of life. The question I ask my clients is: “How do you want to live, and what do you need to be happy?” The answers vary greatly, depending on the person, their lifestyle and their age, but there is one thing all my clients agree on: Home is where the heart is.
I can help you design a home that - however big or small - will cater to your needs, reflect your tastes, suit your lifestyle and showcase what you love - a home that will nourish your soul!
About Me
Honest. Sophisticated.
Born and raised in Germany, I was brought up to be straight forward and detail oriented - two qualities that serve me well in my profession.
Having lived and worked in four countries (and traveled to many more), I understand that there is more than one way to live one’s life. Being open to and exploring new ways of living is what makes interior design fun.
I offer insight, expertise, and guidance on how to create functional designs and establish organizational systems that work. Let me show you how you can make your space more functional and inviting!

MY WORK
I am passionate about design, because I know how much our physical and emotional health are effected by our surroundings.
I love to create a sense of belonging. I believe a home should tell the story of the people who live there. Whether your project involves one room or the entire house, it will be my pleasure to help you turn your dreams into reality.
I am happy to work with a contractor of your choice or to connect you with skilled, reliable trades people in Victoria.

“Yanna is an agent of transformation. She will help you transform your house into the home of your dreams.”
“Yanna King, or as I call her Eagle Eye King, is truly a master in her trade. She helped us set up our wellness centre and yoga studio, Ma Yoga and Wellness, and we couldn’t have done it without her. She had the ability to see the vision we had and chisel and refine it into a reality we never dreamed of. I could not recommend her enough. When doing a building project there are so many things to think of. Yanna went above and beyond, and her advice is invaluable. This woman is an earth angel!”
