12 Must-Try Lunch & Brunch Spots: Jason Grant's Northern Rivers Favourites

Jason Grant is a force of nature.

One minute he's styling a magazine shoot, the next he's designing a dreamy coastal home, and the next...well, who knows what magic he'll conjure up.
He's an interior stylist, a creative director, an author, a designer – the list goes on. But beneath all those hats, there's a down-to-earth Byron local who believes in creating spaces that feel good, both for the eyes and the soul.

From Books to Beach Houses:

Jason's career has taken him on a wild ride, from styling fashion shoots to launching books (his latest, "Force of Nature," is a must-look for anyone wanting to tap into their inner creative). He's transformed countless homes, restaurants, and stores, each one infused with his signature relaxed coastal cool.
