Our Identity
Design Asia Group is the Asian arm of Design Australia Group — a multi award-winning Australian firm with over 20 years of expertise in residential and commercial design, documentation, concept and construction drawings, design consultancy, and community development.
Our Founder & Creative Director, Lisa Yarker, is of Thai–Australian heritage and now resides in Phuket, Thailand. With a strong connection to both Thai and Australian cultures, Lisa brings deep cultural insight and lived experience to the leadership of Design Asia Group.
Her cultural understanding and personal connection to the region provide a unique blend of local insight and global design expertise. With strong ties across Asia and Australia, DAG Asia delivers a grounded, respectful approach to design that resonates with local communities and development goals alike.
This division was born from a natural evolution: combining Australia’s design precision with Asia’s cultural and urban rhythms.
Rooted in creativity, driven by detail, we specialise in apartments & villas, renovations, boutique hotels, and guesthouses across Southeast Asia.
