Live Life in Full Bloom
Jo Viney is the founder and principal designer of Brinnie T Design, specialising in Personalised Interior Design, Interior Design for Wellbeing and Accessible Interior Design.
Design that Starts With People
Many designers begin with trends. I begin with people.
Whether I’m working with a family renovating their forever home, a homeowner rediscovering their style after a major life change, or a client seeking a more accessible and supportive environment, the goal remains the same: creating a home that feels genuinely theirs.
Accessibility Without Compromise
My passion for Accessible Interior Design grew from my own family’s experiences and years of research into creating environments that support diverse needs.
Today, Brinnie T Design is recognised for creating homes that balance accessibility, functionality and beauty. Rather than focusing on limitations, I focus on possibilities—designing spaces that support independence, dignity and wellbeing while still feeling warm, welcoming and personal.
Creating Homes that Reflect the People Who Live in Them
I’ve always believed that our homes should be more than just beautiful spaces. They should support the way we live, reflect who we are and evolve alongside us through life’s many changes.
As the founder and principal designer of Brinnie T Design, my approach to Personalised Interior Design is grounded in one simple belief: no two people, and no two homes, are ever the same. Every project begins with understanding how my clients want to live, feel and function within their space. From there, we create interiors that are deeply personal, highly functional and filled with personality.
Based on Millowl (Phillip Island), I work with clients across Victoria, Queensland and beyond, creating authentic interiors that celebrate individuality while supporting comfort, connection and everyday wellbeing.
More Than Interiors
At its heart, Brinnie T Design is about helping people create homes that support the life they want to live.
Whether that means a colourful family home, a thoughtfully renovated apartment, an accessible forever home or a holiday retreat by the coast, my goal is always the same: to create spaces that feel authentic, inspiring and uniquely yours.
Because beautiful living starts at home.
Why do I do this?
"My interest in accessible and wellbeing-focused design grew from my own lived experience as a parent navigating diverse needs. It reinforced my belief that good design should support people, not the other way around."
What I believe...

Inclusion Noun /ɪnˈkluːʒ(ə)n/
Empowering access to opportunity, addressing structural inequalities, tackling unconscious bias and developing inclusive organisations.
EQUITY ek-wi-tee, noun.
Just and fair inclusion.
An equitable society is one in which all can participate and prosper. The goals of equity must be to create conditions that allow all to reach their full potential. In short, equity creates a path from hope to change.
INTERSECTIONALITY /ɪntəsɛkʃəˈnalɪti/, noun
A theoretical approach that understands the interconnected nature of social categorisations – such as gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, language, religion, class, socioeconomic status, gender identity, ability or age – which create overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination or disadvantage for either an individual or group.
INCLUSIVE DESIGN
The way places are designed affects our ability to move, see, hear and communicate effectively.
Inclusive design is about designing places that everyone can use and aims to remove the barriers that may create undue effort and separation.
It enables everyone to participate equally, confidently and independently in everyday activities.
