Business Profile

Costa d'Oro Design was created by husband and wife team, Martin Grace and Raquel Osborne-Grace. The Costa d'Oro design ethic is a fusion of elegance and simplicity, influenced by the Art Deco movement, old-style Hollywood glamour and Bauhaus aesthetics.

Martin is Tasmanian-born and bred, with a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Tasmania, and a lifelong love of photography and art. Costa d'Oro Design represents a convergence of his artistic, photographic and technical skills, and fulfils a long-held dream of creating his own photography business. Martin has a secret other life as a Senior Advisor with the Queensland Government, but we don't talk about this....

Raquel has two decades of management and administration experience primarily in the higher education sector. Her extensive career experience in Queensland, Victoria and Tasmania, together with her writing skills and eye for design, add significant value to the web design and development process. Raquel has a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Queensland, and a Graduate Diploma in Information Systems from the Queensland University of Technology. She does not have a secret other life.
