Director
Zahava started Move-in in 2002 by accident. It was in response to a new and emerging need for turn-key furniture packages in the inner-city apartment boom. With a background in architecture and no one in that space, she embarked on the fit out of apartments for a client. One thing led to another and Move-in has come of age. With a skilled and dedicated team, Move-in is now an industry leader, demonstrating agility, flexibility, integrity and innovation in the world of FF&E. Specialising in all aspects of design and delivery, Move-in works on projects of all scales from hotels and serviced apartments to student accommodation and social spaces. Zahava Co-Founded Elenberg Fraser Architecture in 1998; launched Clikclax in 2020 and is on the Board of the Melbourne International Film Festival. She works on lots of other projects from script writing to social collaborations, loves to cook and don’t get her started on rock climbing.

General Manager
With an international career in Management and a degree in Interior Design, Sarah brings her unique combination of skills together at Move-in. She manages all teams across all departments to ensure Move-in projects are successfully delivered for clients. From detailed project analysis, design briefs, contracts, processes and scheduling, Sarah has developed attentive and reliable relationships with her team, as well as the vast Move-in network of collaborators, consultants and clients. Her level-headed and solutions-based approach to the complexity of FF&E ensures every project is managed impeccably – on time and on budget; and her recipes for complex dishes from all corners of the globe make everyone hungry on a regular basis.

Finance and Operations
Bryan manages the DNA of Move-in, responsible for bringing together the various and complex aspects of finance and operations. A CPA professional, with degrees in Accounting and Finance, Bryan is the glue that brings it all home behind the scenes. And when he is not knee deep in spreadsheets and accounting software, Bryan can be found doing dunks and strumming his guitar – over a board game or two.

Armed with an MBA, a Masters and a soft spot for bizarre snack food, Ethan manages the operations and strategy at Move-in to ensure the seamless delivery of all projects. Working with various departments and contractors, Ethan manages logistics, freight and installation across multiple projects and locations. He’s also a good cook.

From design reports to digital & brand management, marketing and strategy, Grace supports our design team and clients to ensure all creative assets are beautifully crafted.

She was involved in the very first catalogue in 2002, and has a deep, committed and cellular undertesting of the business.
