Loui Burke – Your Friend in Home and Hosting
Alumni Spotlight: Loui Burke – Your Friend in Home and Hosting
At Whitehouse Institute of Design, Australia, we are proud to celebrate the success of our graduates who are shaping the creative industries in innovative and personal ways. One of those inspiring alumni is Loui Burke, a Melbourne-based content creator and designer who graduated from our Bachelor of Design, majoring in Creative Direction & Styling, in 2018.
From Creative Direction to Creative Living
Since leaving Whitehouse, Loui has carved out a unique path that blends his background in Design Communications, Marketing, and Art Direction with his natural ability to connect with audiences. Known to his growing community as “Your friend in home and hosting,” Loui has become a trusted voice in reimagining how we experience and interact with our personal spaces.
His career has seen collaborations with both global and Australian brands across fashion and interiors, demonstrating the versatility of his Whitehouse training and his ability to move fluidly across creative industries.
A Philosophy Rooted in Home
Loui’s ethos is simple but powerful: a home should be more than just a place to live – it should be a true reflection of self. He encourages people to see their surroundings as an extension of their personal identity, just as important as a favourite outfit, restaurant, or holiday destination.
Whether styling a first apartment, a rental, or a long-term family home, Loui is passionate about helping people create spaces that inspire, comfort, and feel deeply personal. His approach bridges style and practicality, reminding us that joy doesn’t need to be sought in faraway escapes – it can be built in the spaces we inhabit every day.
Building a Community Through Design
Through his engaging social media channels and his podcast, Home & Hosting with Loui Burke, Loui has built an authentic community of design enthusiasts. His content empowers people to embrace creativity in the home with confidence, blending professional insight with a warm, approachable tone.
More than just sharing styling tips, Loui fosters conversations about how the design of our homes impacts our wellbeing, relationships, and everyday happiness.
A Whitehouse Graduate Making His Mark
At Whitehouse, we are committed to preparing our students to lead in diverse creative fields, and Loui is a testament to the power of design education to inspire meaningful careers. His success story illustrates how Creative Direction & Styling can go beyond fashion to influence lifestyle, interiors, and the way people connect to the world around them.
We are proud to call Loui Burke one of our own, and we can’t wait to see how he continues to redefine the intersection of home, hosting, and design.
