MY IMPACT
For me, design has always been about more than aesthetics—it’s about how a space feels, how it functions, and the impact it leaves behind.
I choose to work with local makers, ethical suppliers, and Australian-owned businesses wherever I can. I believe in quality over trends, in supporting my creative community, and in creating spaces that last a lifetime—not just a season.
I approach every project with care, always looking for ways to reduce waste and make more responsible choices—reimagining instead of replacing, restoring rather than discarding.
I also believe in design as a force for good - by offset my carbon footprint, contributing monthly to Pay the Rent, and donating my time and expertise to community and social enterprise projects.
Every decision I make in my work is grounded in kindness, empathy, integrity, and purpose. Because I believe that each small action is meaningful, and thoughtful design has the power to shape lives—not just within the home, but far beyond it.
PAY THE RENT
Petrina Turner Design contributes monthly to Pay the Rent to First Nations People of Victoria. Rent is about non-Indigenous people honouring the Sovereignty of Aboriginal People.
Petrina Turner Design acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we work and live, the Bunurong People, and pay our respect to their Elders, past and present. We are committed to honouring Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples unique cultural and spiritual relationship with the land, water and culture and their rich contribution to society.
