About

Studio Assist is your flexible, Sydney-based admin and operations partner for architecture and design practices.

Hi, I'm Brooklin Kennedy-Lo, founder of Studio Assist. With over 15 years’ experience in admin, ops, and studio support, including supporting award-winning architecture studios in Sydney, Seattle, and New York, I understand the fast-paced, detail-heavy world of the built environment, and how much happens behind the scenes to keep it all moving.

I’ve worked with global firms like Henning Larsen (NY), innovative design studios like REX (NY), and major local practices like Architectus (Sydney) and LMN Architects (Seattle)—supporting teams of all sizes, from small, tight-knit offices to 100+ person studios.

My roles have spanned operations, studio management, project administration, HR support, and day-to-day office logistics. I’ve been the go-to for onboarding, leave cover, internal systems, training sessions, team events, AV setups, and everything in between, often all at once. I thrive in the rhythm of studio life and understand the ebb and flow of deadlines, deliverables, and documentation.

Whether you’re a solo designer juggling multiple roles or a growing practice needing reliable admin support, I step in with calm capability and a deep respect for the work you do. By partnering with only a select few clients and offering focused support starting from just one day per week, I ensure your studio receives personalised attention and consistent assistance tailored to your needs.

Available across Sydney and online, I bring years of industry experience to provide support that is more specialised than a temp and more flexible than a permanent hire. You pay only for the work you need, while I help strategise, streamline, and manage your studio’s operations - so you can focus on designing, building, and leading.
