Andrea D'Cruz
An Accredited Designer member of the Design Institute of Australia, Andrea has over 28 years of commercial, hospitality and residential experience, initially with a few of Australia’s highly regarded architecture and interior design firms. After a successful 12 year partnership, Andrea transitioned to her own design practice – D’Cruz which was established in 2013.
Over her interior design career, Andrea has been recognised in many industry award programs. Andrea has also taken on assignments as a sessional tutor at the University of Technology-Sydney and the University of New South Wales, an invited speaker for the Design Institute of Australia and a judge for a number of industry award programs. Andrea’s passion lies in the relationships she develops with the Clients for the delivery of environments that enhance their lives in which they continue to enjoy long after her involvement.
“Andrea assisted in the interior design aspects of the demolition and rebuild of our apartment. She was at all times a delight to work with; she was able to marry the function and aesthetic in a way that maximised the space for easy flow and extensive storage throughout whilst ensuring the simple lines and sleek elegance we were after. Without doubt Andrea provided real pizzazz to the look and feel of our new home. Thank you, Andrea, for delivering all we wanted plus more. And for your warm, genuine and always professional manner.”
Client – Darling Point Apartment, Sydney
“Andrea and I have worked on three separate renovations, the most recent being a complete refurbishment of our penthouse apartment. Andrea brings her sense of style and sophistication to a project and has a unique flair for building on what is sometimes a very brief outline of what is envisaged. Our apartment is a stunning testament to Andrea’s talent – it was such a pleasure to work with her. If you are looking for a professional designer who makes the journey seamless then look no further than D’Cruz.”

Philosophy
How we feel and function in a space directly links to our wellbeing – and this is highly valued and treated with priority at D’Cruz. We recognise each Client and Project deserves a unique and individual response. Our focus is therefore not restricted to a singular design style, but a design methodology that embraces design solutions that carefully consider the interaction and emotional connection of individuals within interior spaces. A relevance to a contemporary design aesthetic that embraces a timeless quality underpins the work of D’Cruz.
Our commitment to understanding the design brief with the ability to guide you through the complexities of the design journey and construction process is key in the delivery of exceptional design outcomes.
