Cass is the founder and Managing Director of Brisbane’s premier creative space, Newstead Studios. An architecturally converted warehouse home to boutique offices and co-working, professional photography studio, event and workshops spaces, gallery and cafe.

Cass and her husband - photographer and film maker Sam Thies - developed Newstead Studios with a vision to create a space that inspired creativity through beautiful design and above all, community.

We chat about the beautiful history Cass and Sam have with the property, how they survived COVID-19 as an events and coworking space, the importance of investing in critical things and her plans for the next few months - post COVID.
