Personalised Décor & Keepsakes
Our Story
It all started back in 2018, when my then 18-month-old and I would spend hours creating and fixing little knick-knacks around our newly bought home. I’ve always had an eye for design, but I think the seed was planted much earlier— growing up with a really creative mother.
I started Living Etch online not only to share my love for design, but also to inspire and teach my three kids (now 3, 5 and 7) about the foundations of money and entrepreneurship through being present and involved. I create everything from my home studio in Surrey Hills, and my kids often help out by preparing packaging for the handmade products I make.
​
My passion for design doesn’t stop there. By trade, I’m a registered registered Architect (VIC 20536 and NSW 9096 , DBP class 2 DEP0003030) running my own private architectural practice, THAM ARCHITECTS, which specialises in residential projects. My work focuses on heritage restorations to new contemporary homes and residential developments across Melbourne and Sydney. I like to think of my Living Etch products as an extension of a home — each piece architecturally considered and thoughtfully designed to make it more you!
​
At Living Etch, my aim is to create a seamless, considered user experience within everyday LIVING via our ETCHed designs! Each piece is inspired by everyday living and personal experience, and I welcome custom requests and creative challenges. My goal is to solve practical problems with aesthetic solutions, crafting beautiful keepsakes and gifts that bring a little extra joy to daily life.
What we do
At Living Etch, we specialise in designing and creating unique home décor, keepsake gifts and signages tailored just for you. Our focus is on creating pieces that truly reflect you, your home, and your lifestyle.
​
Our range includes personalised plaques, books, wall decals, event and business styling, and accessories. Beyond our standard collection, we love bringing bespoke ideas to life, no matter the brief or size—from paper wedding invitations to business signage and menu boards.
​
Working from our home studio in Melbourne, we enjoy experimenting with different materials to create one-of-a-kind designs. From concept to design, manufacturing, and marketing, we are proud believers in products that are locally owned, designed, operated, and handmade.
​
We pride ourselves on producing high-quality pieces that are modern, sleek, and thoughtfully detailed. By embracing current technology and trends, we create innovative and unique designs for everyone to enjoy.
​
Every design is handmade from scratch. If you have an idea or would like to tweak one of our online products, we’re always excited to discuss custom requests and make them a reality.
​
Everything (from our photography to our website to our products) is created from its raw form in our Surrey Hills VIC home studio. While our default materials are laser-cut timber and acrylic, we also work with solid timber, leather, cork, glass, and more to bring your vision to life.
