Lyn Malcolm

Lynette Malcolm has been involved in the Building Industry in varying roles for 25 years. Starting working life as a finance consultant and a fashion model Lyn found these diverse occupations both required professionalism and discipline on which she thrived. Lyn enjoyed combining colours, textures and the creative presentation required by the fashion industry equally with the very grounded discipline and accuracy required by the finance industry. In the 80’s Lyn trained and commenced work in the building industry in sales and building design utilizing both her natural creativity and skills of logic. This work came naturally and she quickly progressed through positions as top sales consultant onto Victorian Sales Manager for one of Victoria’s top 10 building companies.

Completion of an HIA Building Supervisors Course and a great involvement in all areas of the company including building finance saw Lyn gain a wealth of knowledge from many perspectives. She later wrote and lectured a course at TAFE VIC on How to Complete a Home Past Lock Up Stage.

Following a further 2 years as building designer & colour consultant for a Coffs Harbour building company Lyn then completed an Interior Design Course followed by a variety of colour consultancy courses and workshops. She worked as colour consultant for a national company for 2 years followed by 10 years as top sales consultant for then Coffs Harbour’s largest builder.

Within this role Lyn worked as a finance consultant, sourced suitable land, designed home & land packages, designed marketing material, documentation and systems and worked as interior designer and colour consultant. One achievement was the full colour selection and interior design on the North Coast Display Home of the Year.

Lyn’s role in design studio 22 is the overall management of the business and co ordination the interior design and specification section which assists with colour, finishes, documentation, quotes, electrical plans and more to ensure the needs and ideas of the clients are communicated effectively to the builder.
