George Marks Design

George Marks Design is a boutique-scale practice led by Georgie (she/her), a designer with an Honours degree in Interior Architecture. Having worked at some of Melbourne’s most prominent design practices for over 14 years, Georgie opened the studio in 2019 to provide excellent, forward-thinking and approachable design to her clients.

Since its founding, GMD has been published in multiple Australian publications and has been shortlisted for multiple Australian Interior Design Awards. The practice is located both in Frankston South and Melbourne, on the lands of the Wurundjeri and Bunurong/Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation. GMD works across multiple sectors including residential, multi-residential, hospitality and retail.

With a key focus on boutique residential design, Georgie understands the reality of life as a client. Before the age of 30, she had completed three substantial residential renovations on personal properties across Victoria. Throughout these projects, she reveled in the problem-solving nature and occasionally stressful process, but now has an intimate understanding and appreciation for all phases, design and construct.

These renovations provided Georgie with first-hand knowledge of what is achievable in the design process, and how the balance between budget, design and time must be kept front of mind. Additionally, as residential developer, Georgie had to simultaneously wear the hats of designer and client and learnt to appreciate the importance of efficient design practice. These learnings underpin the work completed on each George Marks Design project.

Throughout her career, Georgie has relished the opportunity to explore exterior building design outcomes with an appreciation for architectural design. Being able to apply design practices inside and outside the building, Georgie brings an intuitive design process with an approachable outlook. With her work approach being frictionless, Georgie is well versed in sourcing our preferred building and trade contractors when required.

George Marks Design’s investment in your project is to minimise the stress and unknowns of a designed outcome and the on-site realities of construction. Currently crafting projects across five Australian States and Territories, Georgie and her team are excited to work further with clients to achieve their dream residential design outcomes.
