Angeliki Tsoulfaidou

Interior Architecture

I’m Angelique, a 24-year-old Interior Architecture graduate with a passion for spaces that whisper stories and spark emotions. For me, design isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about creating experiences and environments that feel alive, meaningful, and enduring. I’m drawn to the interplay of old-world charm and modern innovation, where heritage details meet contemporary simplicity in ways that feel seamless yet surprising.

My design philosophy is rooted in creating spaces that balance elegance and authenticity, inviting people to connect, linger, and feel at home. My love for timeless design is deeply tied to my commitment to sustainability. I’m inspired by the art of breathing new life into old spaces, blending heritage with innovation, and ensuring every choice respects the world around us.

To me, great design isn’t just about what you see—it’s about what you feel and how it impacts the world. With each project, I aim to tell a story and build spaces that inspire a deeper connection to both people and place.

Acknowledgement of Country

The School of Design and Architecture respectfully acknowledges the Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners and knowledge-keepers of the lands, waters and sky that surround us, where we work, learn, create, communicate and make place. We recognise that sovereignty has never been ceded and this always was and will always be Wurundjeri Country. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who continue to make a better world through design.

We extend our acknowledgement to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff, students, alumni, real-life clients, and knowledge keepers, who have contributed to our own education diversity and growth. We will continue to ensure that staff and students respectfully honour ancestral connection to Country and Place in everything that they do.

We are dedicated to the notion of design to make a better world and we acknowledge that making tools, shaping place, sharing stories, making meaning, wayfinding and collaborating have long been and continue to be both central and integral to First Peoples' cultures. We recognize that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ cultural contributions have continued relevance to design practice and commit to: reconciling ancestries of design and contemporary practice as well as pursuing culturally and professionally appropriate ways to engage with a diverse population of colleagues, industries and clients. In a time of treaty-making and voice we understand that there are overlaps between caring for Country and the sustainable production of goods, services, experiences, products and buildings.

Guided by the principles of respect, reconciliation, and reciprocity we undertake to indigenising and decolonising design practice by dismantling colonial structures and challenging biases that have marginalised Indigenous voices and design.

As students of SoDA you will be given opportunities to both engage with and educate yourself in Indigenous creative practices and cultural protocols through a lens of inclusivity, diversity, respect, mutual understanding, inter-cultural dialogue in all aspects of design practice. Indigenous people have been telling stories, making tools, and connecting to Country through visual media, placemaking and place marking for more than 60,000 years and these practices are part of an ongoing, evolving and live tradition.
