Following a successful European debut, his collections now sell in over 16 countries, including collaborations with Milan-based RIVA1920 in 2013 and 2016. Jamie and his team are renowned for creating seamless transitions between indoors and out, with designs that draw inspiration from nature to foster a deeper connection to the outdoors.

He is also a proud ambassador for My Room Children’s Cancer Charity, supporting children and families affected by cancer, and regularly appears on Channel 7’s House of Wellness to share his expertise on health, wellbeing and sustainable living. In recognition of his contributions, he was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia in 2013 for services to the environment and design, and the Centenary Medal in 2004 for services to the environment, television and the community.
