journey
Jillian Dinkel is the founder and Creative Director of her eponymous Sydney studio, known for creating distinctive interiors for heritage and period homes. Her work is grounded in a deep respect for architecture and a belief that historic homes should be allowed to evolve, layering contemporary design, art and decorative detail to create interiors that feel both timeless and entirely individual.
Before establishing her studio, Jillian spent a decade in fashion, including roles at Vogue, GQ and Glamour in New York and Sydney. That experience continues to inform her exacting eye, instinct for composition and ability to distil a clear point of view, while her American background brings a broader international perspective to her work.
As Creative Director, Jillian remains closely involved from concept through delivery, working collaboratively with clients, architects, builders and consultants to realise each home with clarity and care. Her award-winning work has been recognised by Architectural Digest, Vogue Living, Dezeen and Belle, and is defined by character, craftsmanship and a sensitivity to the architecture that came before.
