Early career

This consisted of interior and furniture design and he also accompanied the successful launch of and design of D.D.T’s own range of home ware products.[3]

Dianna Burmas was working as a visual merchandiser in department store floors across the globe. They were both interested in travel, food and the arts, therefore their union led to the development of an extensive range of contemporary lifestyle products and the opening of an interior-design retail store "D1" in the Melbourne CBD.[5]

Pieces from the D1 collection included lamps, vases, cushions, candle holders and stationery with a distinct, chic-urban edge.
