Ivana Yaco
Founder & director
Ivana Yaco founded Arches Design with the purpose of providing robust and innovative support to Interior & Architectural Design Companies.
An industry leader, she prides herself on her ability to take any client design idea from the initial concept stage and bring it into a physical reality. She is a detail-oriented solution seeker, constantly striving towards the perfect balance between beauty and practicality for her clients.
She has over 20 years of experience in the Commercial, Hospitality, Education, Residential and Retail fields. Working in Australia, the UK and the US, she counts Facebook Sydney, Netflix Serrano, Transport for NSW and Stadium Australia amongst her clients during her time at her previous firms.
She holds a number of academic qualifications in Architectural Technology, completed when drawing boards outnumbered computers in classrooms.
Before starting Arches Design Studios, Ivana honed her skills working for local and international firms such as COX Architecture and Gensler in both the US and Australia.
In between projects, Ivana loves to travel, read and spend time outdoors in her free time.
