Izel Van Der Merwe – CEO and founder
Arc Sthetics is a luxury architecture and interior design firm that transforms spaces with intention. The company fuses visionary aesthetics with technical mastery – designing timeless environments that elevate experience, embody purpose and endure.

As a woman, what do you bring that is unique to the industry?
I have a unique combination of skills – business development, interior design and architectural management. This has created a strong blend of creative insight and the business implementation required to run successful, high-impact projects.
How do you celebrate other women in the home décor and design industry?
By mentoring, collaborating, referring and creating space at the table. I believe in shining a light on other women’s work and celebrating their wins. There’s enough room for all of us to thrive – together.
How do you celebrate yourself?
By allowing myself to be authentic. I have a vibrant sense of humour and laugh often with clients and contractors – joy is magnetic and I practise it daily. It reminds me to stay grounded, grateful and connected to who I really am.
A woman to me is … a remarkable being. We carry entire worlds within us and hold them together with quiet strength. Every woman is unique, diverse and capable. Our greatest power lies in our humanity, grace and ability to lead from the heart.
