ABOUT

CJH Studio is an interior design practice, based in Melbourne, led by director Cassie James-Herrick. Cassie has over seventeen years of experience in the industry, working as a Senior Associate at a prominent interior design practice before establishing CJH Studio in 2017.

Guided by Cassie’s refined eye for detail and understanding of materiality and spatial arrangement; CJH Studio celebrates the use of natural materials and soft forms. The use of materiality integrated with a considered design intent ultimately communicates a warm and inviting, yet minimal approach to design. Focusing on both a love and keen eye for custom detailing.

CJH Studio’s passion lies in the creation of personalised interiors – beautiful spaces that are timeless, warm, and tailored to the unique needs of each individual client. CJH Studio encompasses a holistic design approach, from all aspects of creating a space. Balancing functionality, aesthetics and the individuality of every client.
