Why I’m here

The world of knowledge-based work is in constant flux. We’re facing complex problems, disruptions and an uncertain future. To stay on the top of our game, we need to be agile, fast and efficient, and able to collaborate with a wide variety of players.

Our businesses need smart, curious, courageous leaders – rather than conforming followers – who are able to think freely and look for answers with little supervision. Today’s champion team members are excellent communicators and constant learners, and also kind and respectful human beings.

However, our people need all the support they can get to be able to do amazing work. A well-designed workspace can make a huge difference, but sadly, many old offices don’t measure up. We also need to help them understand their individual work styles and adopt advanced work practices, which they probably haven’t learned in school.

What my clients say

Kirsty

Anetta is a talented workspace consultant with an in-depth knowledge of the challenges many of us experience in our work lives. Her intuitive understanding of the influence that our surroundings can have on us, together with her ability to listen closely to my explanations, meant that she was quickly able to recommend a range of innovative (yet simple) strategies that have dramatically improved my home business office. Anetta is an empathetic and creative professional who has a genuine commitment to sharing her knowledge and passion for harmonious working environments.

The Hub is Australia’s first coworking organisation. After the Hub was funded in 2011, Anetta regularly offered expert design advice to the Melbourne team, and on occasions to the Sydney team, for several years. Her advice helped us make our coworking spaces more attractive and engaging, and better aligned with the Hub’s culture and values. She also had great suggestions for how to utilise our space better, and how to keep our space feel spacious despite the growing number of members coming into the Hub. Anetta always demonstrated expertise and professionalism, and I would gladly recommend her to anyone wanting to create a workspace that supports people’s best work, promotes innovation and problem solving, and houses a dynamic, vibrant community.

I could not be happier with the final outcome, which is an office that my staff and I were very excited to move into, and are still proud to show off to others. We feel that we have a real home for the business, as well as being armed with useful advice about how we can further develop our space in future. Thank you Anetta for taking this way beyond what I could have achieved alone!

Anetta designed an excellent workspace for our professional services practice. Our staff and clients love it and it has generated a whole new energy for our workplace. Anetta could not have been more professional, she delivered what we needed within tight timeframes. Anetta was great at not only accommodating our needs but helping us to think differently about the type of environment we wanted to work in. I would gladly recommend her anywhere.

Anetta supported the spatial design of our 450sqm Sydney practice; Huddle spaces. Anetta is an incredible individual. What immediately struck me was the depth and quality of Anetta’s understanding our vision. Her flexible methods not only translated the intent of the business strategy, and essence of the brand into a viable space, but ultimately challenged and improved it. Working with Anetta has been an unforgettable learning experience, and one I would strongly recommend to any organisation looking to drive innovation, improve productivity, and lowering costs while enhancing their employee and customer experience.

I had Anetta work on our new office, and from start to finish she was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of design. Her brief was to design a space that maximized energy and encouraged free flow of ideas. Anetta’s work was impeccable and absolutely met all aspects of the brief. She will definitely be designing our next office and I would recommend her to anyone looking to maximize productivity within their office.
