Who Are We?

Annelie Xenofontos, Senior Workplace Strategist at Axiom Workplaces, is responsible for leading the strategic thinking process that creates intelligent workplace design outcomes.  During her 20+ years of creating spaces she has worked in Australia and abroad.   Recently she was instrumental in creating the new workplaces for ELMO and hipages in Sydney CBD and currently working on VSCO co-working space in Melbourne. 

Annelie brings her people focussed experience to the table when understanding clients and listening to their experiences and insights into their own organisations.  She holds a degree in communications and qualifications in interior design.

Annelie thrives on adding value to the project experience by challenging the sometimes, assumed thinking and outcomes.   That ensures that high quality, critical decision making is considered in view of targeted project outcomes set out early in the design journey for organisational workplace designs.
