Despite being born in idyllic Sydney, Sibella's gypsy soul had her travelling the world searching for beautiful and unusual things to discover, from a very early age.
Sibella’s style invokes strong emotional responses by providing a highly original take on a brief. Her instinctual understanding of colour and form lends itself perfectly to both the large scale as well as the smallest and most intimate spaces and sets. Sibella is a rare stylist that can work equally successfully with both elaborate and simple environments, bringing an element of originality and surprise.
Describing herself as a ‘bowerbird’ and collector, Sibella’s innovative style was honed by her 10 years living in New York working with giant retailers Bergdof Goodman, Bloomingdales, Saks Fifth Avenue, West Elm, Pottery Barn, Brocade Home and Target, amongst many others. She still works with Anthropologie USA, travelling on their inspiration trips and designing product ranges, Sibella continues her nomadic ways by travelling regularly around the globe seeking inspiration for her styling and writing.

All have now been translated into several languages and are amongst the best selling home decoration books in Australian publishing history.Her next book "Bowerbird" is due for release in October and is all about collections and how to display them.

Sibella is often also requested to judge design competitions, including the Bombay Sapphire Design Awards and Designer Rugs Evolve Awards.
