Company profile
Light Up Design is a Melbourne-based design and fitout practice focused on retail, hospitality, kiosks and commercial environments. We connect design intent, approval requirements and site realities to create distinctive spaces shaped around budget and day-to-day operations.
Founder · Design & Project Manager
More than 10 years of industry experience spanning retail and hospitality design, construction documentation, shopping-centre coordination and fitout delivery in Melbourne.
We start with the site, the business model and practical constraints. We define the scope, coordinate documentation and contractors, and follow through on the details that affect quality, timing and cost.
