About Us
At Creative Design Cabinets (CDC), every project tells a story of craftsmanship, care, and creativity.
Our Story
Founded in 2002 by Reo Richardson, Creative Design Cabinets began as a boutique joinery business specialising in luxury residential cabinetry across Melbourne’s most prestigious suburbs.
Reo’s passion for detail, innovation, and integrity shaped the culture of CDC, a business built on craftsmanship and trusted relationships.

After 15 years of building a strong reputation in high-end domestic joinery, CDC expanded its expertise into broader markets.
Today, our projects span:
-
Luxury residential homes and apartments

This evolution reflects our adaptability and ongoing commitment to precision, quality, and customer satisfaction.
