MICHAELA STEHR, CONTENT PRODUCER

What’s your favourite memory of the house you lived in as a child?

My favourite childhood house was a rented grand old Victorian in Mowbray, where I lived from the age of three to 13, which had a wraparound verandah and a majestic “jungle” garden. The old Welsh spinster we rented from used to breed Scottie dogs from that home before we moved in. It was her passion, so there were kitsch dog-themed tiles scattered around the kitchen and bathroom. I absolutely adored them – even though now I realise they were incredibly tacky.

Michaela is VISI’s in-house content producer, and leaps between the digital and print elements of the brand with ease – as well as being the team joker. She chats to Trenery design competition winner Glorinah Khutso Mabaso (page 132) and writes about rising design star Khosi Leteba’s covetable bench (page 146) in this issue.
