Chelsea Hing.

Celebrated for her daring sensibility, Chelsea Hing is an award-winning Australian designer with over twenty years in practice. An intuitive design approach and strategic vision informs Chelsea’s unique world view, driving expressive, holistically considered and liveable interiors, crafted with character. 

Born from a belief that design is inherently emotional, Chelsea seeks to elevate her clients’ lived experiences by cultivating greater wellbeing and connection through thoughtful design. Shaped by her Asian Australian heritage and a fascination with the world around her, Chelsea applies an empathic approach to her craft; fostering a natural connection with her clients to translate their personalities and perspectives into unique spaces that celebrate the individual. 

Hand-sketching is central to her design process – an instrument to freely explore the unexpected and pursue design thinking without a prescribed agenda. Framed as a time in which anything is possible, this physicality lends a looseness to the studio’s interiors. Never contrived nor overworked, each space is grounded by logical planning and evocatively layered to create a relaxed, lived-in finish. 

This creative spirit is bolstered by a strategic mindset. Chelsea’s incisive understanding of design in its broader context allows her to lead clients towards holistic design outcomes, guided by pragmatism and potential. Her work is chameleonic; the result of playfully challenging residential archetypes to express the essence of her client’s stories in built form.

Chelsea’s interiors are consistently recognised for their confident spirit and evocative mood, garnering numerous industry awards, accolades and press in the world’s leading interior design publications. As a leader in Australian design, Chelsea has served on many award juries and industry panels, where she advocates for the transformative power of design.
