Founders Story
Lori Matheson - Principal Designer & Founder
Based on the Central Coast of NSW, The Edit Design Studio was founded by Lori — a designer with over 20 years’ experience spanning both building and interiors. Lori’s career has been shaped on construction sites and within homes, where she has honed the craft of balancing architectural clarity with interior soul. She approaches every project with precision, creativity, and an unwavering pursuit of timeless design.
Her belief is simple: a home should outlast trends, embody purpose and feel effortless to live in.
The Edit’s philosophy is simple: design should connect. Connect people with the spaces they live in, connect architecture with interiors and connect beauty with longevity. We approach each project with clarity and precision, bringing together building design and interiors under one roof so nothing is left to chance.
Sustainability and craftsmanship are at the heart of what we do. From the materials we select to the artisans we collaborate with, every choice reflects our commitment to creating homes that endure quietly luxurious, deeply personal, and built to last.
The Edit Philosophy
Connection over convention – spaces that reflect life, not fleeting trends
Form meets feeling – homes that are as intuitive as they are beautiful
Built to endure – sustainability and longevity over quick fixes
Crafted, not manufactured – details shaped by artisanship, not mass production
Luxury in restraint – understated, timeless design that speaks quietly but powerfully
