About Me

My photo
Kelly
Australia
Born from a need to express and document my obsession for all things design, Design Detective is a design blog to capture my thoughts, finds and experiences. I’m sure I was a bowerbird in a previous life as I hunt, collect and hoard everything beautiful – from an antique button to a beautiful piece of modern furniture. I’m hoping that this blog will allow me to share with others my special finds and archive my thoughts so they aren’t lost forever. contact: studio2103@gmail.com
