There's no place more personal than home and we make it our mission to dial into your frequency, understanding you on a deeper level to deliver a home that works both now and into the future.
We're here to bring the calm, a steady stream of caffeine and a wealth of experience to your project (word of warning - you’ll never want to leave!).
Servicing clients nationwide, we’ve had the privilege of working on a multitude of mid to large scale residential renovation projects, designing dreamy homes across the country and reconnecting clients with their homes in ways they never thought possible.
We believe design is so much more than aesthetics alone. Good design should be functional, solve problems and consider how you live within and use your home. Whether it's more space you need, less space, more connection, moments created for restful solitude, increased productivity or more calm, we simply don't do cookie-cutter.
Donna Guyler Design is a full-service Interior Design Studio guiding you from concept to completion with care, expert execution and a personalised approach.
WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED.
Designing Dreamy Homes Nationwide.
The STUDIO.
From an Ikea desk in my third bedroom, fuelled by a fierce commitment to create beautiful homes, DGD was born from small beginnings. Waving goodbye to a fast paced corporate executive career, I enrolled in university and took a leap into the world of interior design. I started my studio to share what I believe to be the true meaning and impact of interior design with others. Now, with a talented team alongside me, we continue to do what I love - transform lives, one home at a time (I seriously need to pinch myself and high five myself at the same time).
When I’m not in my creative zone, you’ll find me juggling school and sports runs alongside my hubby (with a coffee in hand!), trying to tick things off my never ending to-do list (because #mumlife) or enjoying the beach in a place I’m so lucky to call home.

FOUNDER AND CREATIVE DIRECTOR

Hailing from Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, Andreia has been living in Australia since 2006. A love of interiors, travelling and exploring different cultures provides Andreia with inspiration for her design work. Andreia always brings some laughs to the studio and project meetings with her “Andreisms” as they’re referred to (read: Portuguese-English invented words!).
Inaya is fascinated with architecture and the performing arts. On the weekend when she’s not immersing herself in the world of interiors, she likes visiting museums and art galleries. Or you might just see Inaya getting her game face on with a tennis match!
SENIOR INTERIOR DESIGNER
Sharow Picanco
With experience working as an interior designer, Skye has a passion for organisation, time management and design of course - making her role the perfect fit! In her spare time, Skye enjoys going off the grid and getting back to nature.
Coming from a corporate background, Brazilian Adriana adopted Australia as her home 20 years ago and hasn’t looked back since. Shifting into the design industry, she admittedly loves being surrounded by creativity, even if she is known as the resident numbers person (#lovesaspreadsheet) and is the yin to the yang within team DGD. An avid traveller, Adriana loves to experience different cultures and explore the world with her family.
Hailing from the beautiful Central Coast of NSW, Andrew made the move to Queensland in 2016. For 28 years, he held the position of Chief Financial Officer for an Australian subsidiary of a European based company which produces fruit preparations for the yogurt and ice cream industry. When he is not designing with numbers, Andrew enjoys time out at the park and the beach with his 2 young grandsons.

Another Brazilian in the team, Sharow loves travelling and being pushed out of her comfort zone. She is also crazy about animals, especially dogs and will jump at the chance to pat a puppy if she spots one when out and about.
