Mairead is the founder of Maike Design, an interior design practice that specialises in carefully crafted spaces for living and working. With a particular interest in designing homes for all life stages – from young families through to Ageing in Place, Mairead brings functional understanding, compassion and design expertise to all her projects.

Mairead is passionate about the positive contribution of intentional design in day-to-day life and believes that delight in architecture comes from small, considered moments that make every day special. This belief is at the core of the practice where Mairead hopes to continue to share her experience and love of good design.

Mairead has both an honours qualification in Interior Architecture and a Masters of Architecture. Prior to starting Maike Design, Mairead worked for a number of leading Melbourne Architectural practices on a wide range of project types and sizes from large scale urban design and institutional projects to boutique retail and residential design commissions. She has also been involved in design education, mentoring students at RMIT and tutoring design and design history at Monash University.
