"This is where my studio is. It used to be where all the nuns stayed, but now they’ve converted it into studio spaces. It’s a bit of a destination spot."

"They do beautiful pastas and baguettes here through the day, and then at night it has more of a bar vibe. It’s a great meeting place for all the designers and artists at Abbotsford Convent."

"This is where you get your Tokyo-style ramen on a cold Melbourne night. The music’s good and it’s really fun. I think I always bump into someone I know there!"

"This 150 year old pub has a really homely, inclusive, relaxed feel. I feel like I’m walking into someone’s lounge room to have dinner when I go in there."

"Sometimes when I need a break from my screen, I go for a stroll on Yarra Bend. It’s so nice to be able to go on a bush walk, and it feels like you’re nowhere near the city."
