Samantha Eades

Samantha Eades is a global design consultant, entrepreneur, and creative connector with over two decades of industry experience. With a rare instinct for both business and design, she creates human-centric spaces that reach the subconscious — evoking pride, connection, and emotional resonance. Her projects balance history, culture, and contemporary trends with a strong sense of sustainability and sensory depth, particularly in hotels and hospitality. In 2020, Samantha partnered with Hayley Mitchell to form Mitchell & Eades, now operating studios in Melbourne and Dubai. Together, they craft award-winning hotels and venues like Maison Bâtard, Melbourne, and Six Senses Fort Barwara, where elegance, innovation, and soul come together.
