We were over the moon to be awarded the Crystal Vision award at the NAWIC Tasmanian Awards for Excellence dinner. The Crystal Vision award recognises the work of our team for encouraging and promoting the advancement of women in the industry, and providing a significant contribution to the industry as a whole. Valentine Interiors & Design is working hard to challenge the perception of interior design, achieving this through our education work that inspires the next generation of designers, along with thought leadership talks, integrated design, and our work experience program.

Becoming carbon neutral was a collective and mutual aspiration in the studio. Our conversations and discussions incrementally transformed from words into action. A goal, we continue to grow, that allows our practice to adapt in order to support low toxicity, reduce our footprint and forever elevate our design outcomes. We were heartened by the number of Tasmanian signatories to the Architects Declare network, and with our gradual work over the past few years, it has allowed us to officially become a carbon-neutral studio. Small steps, small impacts maybe, but if there is one thing we know from living on this small wondrous island of Tasmania, is that if we want to impact, action must be taken, both collectively and independently.

Valentine Interiors was tickled pink to be selected as a State Finalist in the 2022 Telstra Best of Business Awards. With over 24,000 nominations and a rigorous judging process, these are Australia’s most prestigious business awards. We are very proud of our business and our team. The process was lengthy, yet highly rewarding and allowed us to really delve into the reasons behind starting and developing our business. Entering our 7th year in business, it was perfect timing to be part of the prestigious awards.
