Gabrielle Rosenfeld
Her time as a project manager in retail design for the Gandel Group in Melbourne sparked her interest in the field and ultimately led to a career change. After working for the company for a while, she realized she wanted to make a career out of designing and decorating interiors, so she went back to school and earned a Diploma of Arts in Interior Design and Decoration. She has since launched a styling business called Freestyle Interiors, and in 2016, she had the honor of teaching at ISCD, where she could pass on her wisdom and see her students develop into seasoned designers.

Annika started working as a jeweler, and from there she entered the business of hairdressing. She then went on to run two businesses while teaching students at Victoria University.
