From a very young age, as a little girl, Rowena could feel the shift that came about from moving physical objects to alternate locations in a space, and the uplift which became magnified with the application of pattern and colour, noticeably heightening mood.

This sixth sense, the sense of vibration in space, and an empathic connection to physical objects and humans, formed an acute interest in what she later discovered through the teachings of Aristotle with respect to physical science; - an interpretation that change of place and change of space can lead to an uplifted, healing state.

Later, after a 2 year stint in London, Rowena undertook Diploma's in Interior Design and Interior Decoration and moved into the world she had been inspired by as a child, the world of Interior Design. 

Since then, Rowena has created interiors across the Hospitality, Retail, Commercial, Residential, + Television sectors for the last 19 years. Before that she created experiences for the event industry in Australia, the UK and across Europe for Brands such as Dom Perignon and Cable and Wireless London.

She has formulated successful outcomes for companies such as the Intercontinental Hotel Group, Eureka Funds Management and Jones Lang LaSalle Hotels to name a few.

​
With minimal investment and strategic planning as an Interior Designer, she increased revenue streams significantly in the first year of trading (a + million dollar return) with designs running a timeless currency of 5 years.

 
Her Grandmother Frona Patricia Hall, was an understudy to one of Australia's most iconic interior designers; Marion Hall Best.

A humanitarian, a trainer, mentor, teacher. Once based in Sydney, Rowena lectured in the Bachelor Design Program at Design Centre Enmore for 6 years. In addition, she has taught across the TVET School Children's design program, the Interior Design Diploma and Advanced Diploma levels at Design Centre Enmore; The Leading Design Institution in Australia.

After reaching a level of success in hospitality design, receiving several nominations for awards, Rowena treated her own apartment with her proven formula of space changing, pattern and colour application which she used as a child. Using her body as a tuning fork, she noticed profound results. Not only was mood heightened but her body went through physical changes as well. As taught by Aristotle.

​
Now based as an Interior Designer in regional Australia, on the edge of the outback in her birth town of Dubbo, she works across the Central Western Plains and right across NSW, continuing her work across the Commercial Interior Design and Residential Interior Design sectors.

Rowena is passionate about the professional and evolutionary development of self, others and future generations and the power of design to heighten the human experience.
She is formulating a new series of holistic workshops to be delivered at the Red Earth Natural Healing Centre in Dubbo in 2026. The workshops are based on the formula she used in her infancy and in truth all along - Inner Knowing.

 
In addition she has a particular interest in Art/Creative Therapies + Creative Cures for children with special needs
+ the disadvantaged - leading to advantaged groups.


She is considering a hypothesis to commence a Masters of Philosophy by Design and has a draft in commencement for a book.
​
Adding to to her Degree and Diploma's, Rowena holds a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment and a Certificate IV in Business Management.


She was born on Christmas Day. She has travelled to 28 Countries.
