Sue Carr (Franklin, 1962) was recently appointed as a Member (AM) of the Order of Australia (General Division) for significant service to interior design, to education, and to women in business in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list. Sue Carr, Founding Principal of Carr, has championed and cemented the power of design in Australia since opening her first interior design studio in Melbourne in 1971. Sue’s work as a practitioner and educator has been instrumental in redefining interior design as a core discipline and vital component to architecture. For five decades Sue has stood steadfast in her belief that design can make a positive difference to people’s lives. Studying at RMIT University after finishing school at Ruyton, she has been a life-long supporter of design education through advisory, graduate and scholarship programs.
