About

I’m Sandra Tallat, a dynamic interior design professional with over 23 years of experience delivering high-end residential, commercial, and hospitality projects nationally and internationally. I specialize in unique, bespoke design solutions that blend innovation, functionality, and refined aesthetics. I’m a member of the Design Institute of Australia and an experienced interior design educator, integrating industry expertise with academic engagement.

As founder & Creative Director of Stella Interiors Home, I lead projects from concept to completion, overseeing design coordination, tender documentation, and client relations. I’ve delivered luxury residential and hospitality developments in Dubai and Australia, including Anantara Hotel penthouses, and I regularly mentor students through formal teaching roles at Box Hill Institute and other institutions, sharing practice-based insights to elevate design standards through creative vision and strong project management.
