Driven by a relentless dedication to her craft, she left her full-time job to immerse herself in the creative process. Every day was a new opportunity to learn, experiment, and perfect her skills, always striving to create the highest quality work. During weekends, she traveled around Melbourne’s markets, building a close-knit community of loyal customers who inspired the evolution of The Fifth Design.

After years of engaging with the local community, she realized it was time to expand. This pivotal year saw her rebuild the business from the ground up, creating a vibrant online presence that connected with a global audience. It was a year of transformation that set the stage for the brand’s future growth.

Relocating to the stunning Sunshine Coast became a turning point, allowing us to reach a broader community and expand our team. This move fueled our growth and set the foundation for new opportunities and collaborations.

Chris, the founder's partner, joined the team, blending his practical skills with her creative vision. This partnership injected fresh energy into the business, accelerating our ability to innovate and serve our customers better.

A milestone year as The Fifth Design family grew both personally and professionally with the arrival of Chris and Lauren’s first son, Azuri. This joy and new life brought renewed inspiration to our work and deepened our commitment to our craft.

With creativity and passion at an all-time high, we launched 'Curated by The Fifth Design,' a sister brand aimed at bringing our unique creations to the corporate gifting world. This new venture marks another exciting chapter in our ongoing journey of growth and innovation.
