SPEAKERS

Carlene Duffy is the Creative Director of her namesake studio, Carlene Duffy Studio. With an approach that is both intuitive and authentic, Carlene is recognised for creating interiors that are layered, richly textured, and brimming with personality.

Her philosophy centres on designing spaces that feel timeless yet ever-evolving, balancing sophistication with warmth. Whether working on heritage restorations or bespoke renovations, Carlene’s work celebrates individuality, colour, and detail. She believes the most captivating interiors tell a story—one that reflects both the architecture and the lives lived within. Her portfolio spans private residences, multi-room refurbishments, and creative projects including van conversions and boutique developments.

Beyond her design practice, Carlene has co-hosted television programs including Ready Set Reno and Open Homes Australia, and alongside her husband Michael, first captured national attention on The Block in 2014. Together, they continue to inspire audiences with a shared passion for design, building, and storytelling.
