About

Design with a throughline

Alex Smithies, Brisbane kitchen designer and founder of Zander Edward

Good kitchen design isn't about trends. It's about understanding the way a family actually moves through a space — how they cook, gather, and live — and building something around that.

Across numerous projects and more than a decade in the industry, I've worked closely with homeowners, cabinetmakers, and joiners to deliver kitchens that are well-designed, well-built, and genuinely lived in.

If you're planning a kitchen renovation or new build in Brisbane, I'd love to hear about your project. Every great kitchen starts with understanding the space — and the people who'll live in it.

"Good design comes from understanding how people actually live in their homes, not just how a space looks in a photo."
