I’m Courteney Kiely, founder of SCENE and passionate advocate for purpose-driven design. With a mission to transform lives through impactful interiors, I believe design is more than just aesthetics – it’s a tool for fostering mental, emotional and social well-being. Whether it's a home, a school, workplace or public space, I focus on creating environments that promote connection, inclusivity and resilience.

Alongside my studio practice, I’m committed to supporting the next generation of interior designers. I create practical, industry-focused courses and resources that help aspiring designers build careers, portfolios and confidence. My aim is to help young designers enter the industry with clarity, purpose and a strong understanding of how design can create meaningful change in the world.

My goal is simple: to empower young designers to build meaningful careers while shaping spaces that make the world better.
