Hi Mel! Welcome to the Dreamers. Tell us about you and your family.
Thank you! In my house there's myself, my husband Amadeus and our little boy Aurelius who has just had his first birthday! Amadeus and I have been together for 16 years. We met at University, and last year we grew our family and Auri has brought us so much joy! Amadeus works in video production, and I am Head of Brand at Byron label Spell.
Where do you live? It looks iconic on Instagram.
I live in Lismore, and my house is a reno job that has been going on for over ten years. So anything you see is definitely very selective!! I am terrible at interiors and incredibly scared to just jump into home styling. My Spell role, Instagram work and Auri take up 99.9% of my time, so I never really prioritise it, which is so silly!
What calls to you more, the ocean or the hinterland?
You work with the incredible Spell. We love their bohemian, sustainable vibes. Tell us about your role there.
You have an innate sense of style and a gifted eye. Tell us three-pointers for styling an alfresco picnic come summertime.
1. Always take a nice little wooden board and a knife to cut things!
2. Edible flowers or figs always elevate any platter situation, even if you have just one wedge of cheese and crackers!
3. Get a good picnic rug!
Tell us about your transition into being a mum. What has been the best part, along with the hardest parts?
Any exciting plans for this summer?
