Yasmine Ghoniem has just stepped into her debut television role as co-host of ABC’s Grand Designs Transformations. Alongside Anthony Burke, the series sends her around the country to meet Australia’s boldest and most inspired home renovators.
It may be Ghoniem’s first gig on the small screen but it’s the latest in a career as one of Australia’s most awarded interior designers. The Sydneysider credits her love of design to her upbringing. Raised between Kuwait, Dubai and Saudi Arabia, surrounded by “very non-eventful desertscapes”, her bedroom became her world – and she grew obsessed with how the objects in her space would make her feel.
