Ethos
At Saint Augustine Studio, we firmly believe that the spaces we inhabit have a profound impact on our lives. Our design philosophy is rooted in the idea that intentionally designed spaces, based on how we authentically live and move through the world, can enhance all aspects of our daily experiences. With a deep respect for nature, art, architecture, and craftsmanship and a passion for romanticizing everyday life, our Founder and Principal Designer, Ayanna Augustine, uses behavioural design techniques to create tailored spaces that resonate with our client's individual lives and personalities. Ultimately, each of our creations give expression to the intangible.
