About the flatmates

Elphie
Professionally, I’m a business and intimacy mentor, game designer, chairman, author and speaker. Personally, I’m an enthusiast, philosophical, friendly, mindful, a strategist and an omnivert. My passions involve continual growth, ecstatic dancing, board and video gaming, and most importantly, recently preparing for having my first child. I’ll be sleeping at another home with my partner, and won’t be at the Palace much at all except for some part-time work and occasional gaming.

Austin
An IT Analyst who often works from home during the week (and occasionally on weekends). A passionate gamer and board game enthusiast, I also thrive in the kitchen, cooking up something new over a glass of wine, whiskey, or Spiced Rum. When I’m not immersed in strategy or flavours, you’ll find me outdoors, hiking, bouldering, and exploring Melbourne, my new home city. As an INFP-T (Mediator), I’m open-minded, empathetic, and always keen for good conversation. I love socialising but also appreciate chill time to recharge.

Michael
Cofounder of an AI startup and research lab. Interest in psychology and science / research; my hobbies include playing music, dance, and staying active. Love creativity, conversation, puns and wordplay. Passionate about blending science, art, music and community—whether through building tech, hosting events, or dancing. I stay grounded by keeping a focused, productive rhythm at home.

Ella
I’m Ella; your resident ADHD-fuelled overachiever (does Daddy love me now? KIDDING!). I’m an ex-Army officer who traded camo and command posts for business operations and boardrooms by day, and elite pole dancing by night. I’m disciplined and organised without being intense about it. Think bills paid on time, house tidy, shared spaces respected, but I’m also genuinely warm, funny, and easy to live with. Between training, work, and the occasional comp, I’m pretty busy, so home is my recharge zone. I love chill chats in the kitchen, sharing food, swapping life stories… and then retreating to my room like an overstimulated cat. If you’re looking for a housemate who’s driven, emotionally self-aware, queer-friendly, and quietly badass across multiple domains, that’s me.
