Two graphic designers take Melbourne, what ensues next is nothing short of
amazing! Alexsia and Sharnay touched down in the design mecca that is Melbourne after relocating from their hometowns in New Zealand. After soaking in the lane ways and oozing creativity of the city’s streets Alexsia and Sharnay were bursting with creative juices and in search for an outlet - the The designBLEND blog was forged.
ThedesignBLEND taps in to a range of the latest in design from textile fashions, colour palettes, D.I.Y delights and Pinterest boards. Our favourite morsel however, has to be ‘HiddenGEMS’ - a section devoted to the unearthing of Melbourne’s best finds. Inspiration for HiddenGEMS first peeked for the girls when discovering quirky little covert spaces like the floral stylings of Ivy & Eve on Clarendon Street or the one-of-a-kind home wares haven from The Lunar Store on Greville Street.
The individual style’s of Sharnay and Alexsia bring a love for the monochromatic look and feminine undertones that translate into clean, beautiful designs. “We work really well together and are good at balancing each others talents and weaknesses” says Alexsia.
