Linda is a furniture designer and maker based in nipaluna/Hobart. She completed a BFA (design-in-wood) at the University of Tasmania's School of Art in 1992, and now runs a part-time design practice from a studio shared with partner Stuart Houghton.

As a studio-based designer working predominately with timber, Linda's practice includes commissions, limited production pieces and collaborative projects with other artists and designers. Her work has been exhibited in numerous group exhibitions both within Australia and internationally, and she has taught at both the UTAS School of Art and at Sturt School for Wood in Mittagong NSW. Through her membership of several design organisations she is committed to the development and growth of the craft and design sector.

"I seek to design and make objects that have a quiet presence - objects that don't demand attention, but invite Interaction through the exploration of the details of the piece"
