Rachael Swift is the creative force behind ‘Rachael Swift Design’.

Kreo Home is so pleased to have such a creative talent on board the ‘Local is the new Black’ giveaway. Maggie stocks an exclusive Rachael Swift Design range in her online store.

Rachael has always worked in the Art & Design industry in some form or another since graduating from the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) in her early days.

She has worked in many different areas of the design world; concept design, completed rendered drawings for clients…. all the way through to huge murals…how versatile! She clearly has a passion for all things design and also creates stunning Ceramics, Jewellery, Paintings and large-scale Sculptures.

Rachael was also lucky enough to be a feature artist on ‘The Block Glasshouse’ this year…. what an experience that would have been!

Her current creative focus however is ‘Sculpting’, developing and creating her amazing Home Décor range. She has been doing this on and off for about 8 years, it’s such an incredible range!

Rachael is a mother to a teenage son, and like most of us finds the balancing act of working and parenting tricky from time to time, but this has also made her focused and resilient to big challenges.  She works out of her design studio on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria.

Her hand sculptured limestone decor pieces are  inspired by ‘natures form & shapes’, and she is also influenced by Scandinavian Design. She has an appreciation of the ‘Sixty’s’ and ‘Seventies’ design aesthetics, something we both have in common.

Her work certainly communicates themes of peace, tranquillity and calmness. Her hand sculptured works are made from 30 million year old Australian limestone, how incredible!

Her designs are an Industry standout for their unique forms and stunning ‘on trend’ colours. Her pieces are innovative, creative and all are hand painted. The fact that they are not done in moulds is incredible…… each piece a complete one-of-a-kind.
