Hi, I'm Malia!
Founder & Lead Designer at Urban Aspect
Hi, I’m Malia, the face behind Urban Aspect Build Planning + Interior Design. I specialise in transforming homes with thoughtful, personalised renovations that balance style, functionality, and long-term value. I believe that great design is more than just beauty—it’s about creating spaces that fit seamlessly into your life, which is why I focus on creating designs that not only look amazing but work seamlessly for your lifestyle.
With a background in civil engineering, interior design and a passion for renovation work, I’ve worked with many clients in Townsville and beyond, helping them breathe new life into their spaces. I understand that a renovation can be both exciting and overwhelming, so my approach is to provide clear, transparent, and hands-on guidance throughout the entire process.
My Design Philosophy
At Urban Aspect, I believe in design that is functional first, with beauty and style naturally following. Whether it’s optimising a kitchen for more storage, creating a relaxing ensuite retreat, or reimagining an entire home, I work closely with each client to craft spaces that meet their practical needs and reflect their personal style.
I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every home is unique, and I take the time to understand your vision, your goals, and the way you use your space. From there, I create custom designs that marry form and function, ensuring that your home feels both beautiful and purposeful.
Why I Do What I Do
I’ve always been passionate about design and the power it has to transform spaces and lives. I understand the importance of creating a home that suits your family’s lifestyle while also considering the long-term value of your investment. I get immense satisfaction from seeing clients thrilled with their renovated spaces, knowing that I’ve helped turn their vision into reality.
Being part of the Townsville community and working with local builders and suppliers means that I can offer expert, tailored solutions to clients here, backed by a strong network of trusted professionals.
My Approach
Each project starts with listening. I take the time to understand your needs, lifestyle, and what’s important to you in a renovation. From there, I create a tailored design that is functional, aesthetic, and aligned with your goals. I work with trusted builders to ensure smooth execution and high-quality results.
Whether you’re looking to revamp your kitchen, modernise your bathroom, or embark on a full home renovation, I am here to provide guidance, expertise, and support to ensure your vision is realised.
