Robyn Gilbey

Throughout her working life Robyn has been involved in a diverse range of creative endeavours. In the 1980’s she operated her own PR company – with clients such as Billy Joel and Olivia Newton John.  More recently she has worked in DVD production and in between she and her husband renovated and sold houses in Mosman, Paddington, Kirribilli, Bayview, Byron Bay and Mudgee.

She has also travelled extensively in Europe and the USA, which has helped hone her keen eye for colour and design.

A passion for decorating and styling homes led to her undertaking formal tertiary studies in decorating and design. She received a diploma from the Mary Nielson School of Interior Decorating and Design, which has been most useful in helping her provide advice into the use of colour and the context for its use.

Robyn also studied the craft of painted finishes with Jennifer Bennell, one of Australia’s foremost authorities in the field, and author of the book, “Master Strokes”.

She has had extensive experience in the application of techniques such as: gilding, stencilling, marbling, antiquing and liming in conjunction with both houses and furniture. She has also worked as a project manager for commercial clients in Sydney providing quality fit outs that feature specialist traditional techniques juxtaposed with the requirements of modern working and social environments.

Robyn’s experience in PR both in the record business (working in a major record company) and in the broader entertainment industry (working in the computer games industry and with electronic media) have ensured that she has an ability to understand the demands of high profile clients and also mainstream media.

She has a sharp appreciation of the need to generate successful outcomes for her clients in every way.

Robyn lives in the Berry area where she is currently renovating, decorating – and transforming – a house. She is interested in building a real estate portfolio in the area and in helping other people realise increased value from their real estate investments.
