Meet The Team

Managing Director Craig Linke has more than two decades of experience in the construction industry spanning Australia and the United Kingdom. After training as a carpenter and working in the residential construction industry in Adelaide, Craig’s vision for Craig Linke was born whilst living abroad. Craig worked extensively on architecturally designed homes and luxury commercial fit-outs in some of London’s most prestigious suburbs and locations, including Avenue Road in St John’s Wood, Oxford Street, Saville Row, Kensington, Mayfair, Piccadilly Circus, Chiswick Park and Emirates Stadium.

Returning to Adelaide in 2014 with a growing passion for both old-world and contemporary architecture, Craig launched Craig Linke. The company takes on a select number of projects each year, and focuses on high-end and luxury builds that showcase outstanding craftsmanship that is a cut above the rest.

Craig loves working closely with clients, including during the design phase, to bring their projects to life, drawing on his extensive travels and knowledge of building materialities for inspiration. Most recently, he spent two years living in California, travelling extensively from the Hamptons to Napa Valley and Palm Springs, seeking design inspiration. He enjoys spending time with his wife and children, snow skiing, and sampling wines from around the world.

As our General Manager, Jake Devlin has an outstanding depth of theoretical and hands-on experience in the building industry. Jake holds a Certificate IV in Building & Construction, and exceptional carpentry and concreting skills.

His building experience spans both residential and commercial construction with three local companies. Part of the team since 2015, Jake joined us not long after the company’s inception, commencing in a carpentry role before quickly progressing to a Project Management role.

Jake oversees the day to day running of Craig Linke - and is likely the first person you’ll meet when you get in touch! Jake goes above and beyond to ensure our clients have the best possible experience at every stage of their project. He is integral to our company’s consistent success and our clients appreciate his friendly, professional manner and excellent attention to detail.

In his spare time, you’ll find him exploring South Australia’s wineries and restaurants with his wife, kickboxing, and spending time with family and friends.

With more than a decade of experience as a carpenter under his belt, Jono has been an integral member of the Craig Linke team since 2022. He joined our leadership team in the newly created role of Construction Manager in 2024. Jono holds both a Certificate III in Carpentry/Joinery and a Certificate IV in Building & Construction.

He has undertaken a broad range of work over the years, including architectural new builds and renovations. Prior to joining the team, Jono was a leading hand/ foreman for a small Adelaide building company. His attention to detail and ability to execute high calibre projects both on and off the tools has seen him quickly rise the ranks.

When he’s not on the tools at work, completing building projects around his home, or hanging out with his wife and kids, Jono loves to sit by the fire with a red wine and a good book, and counts winter as his favourite season.

Charlotte joined Craig Linke in mid-2022 following more than five years’ working for leading interior design companies in Adelaide.

She commenced her career with Grieve Gillett Andersen, spending four years with the company, before expanding her experience with global firm, IA Design. Describing her favoured style aesthetic as “modern classic”, Charlotte believes close collaboration with clients and colleagues leads to the best design outcomes, both practically and aesthetically.

Charlotte holds a Bachelor of Interior Architecture, and both received and was shortlisted for several awards during her studies, including Gold from the Design Institute of Australia in the Built Environment category.

When she’s not designing, Charlotte can be found shooting shots on the netball court, enjoying Encounter Bay, and servicing her side hustle: a hand-made ceramics business.

Helena joined the Bespoke team in early 2023 as our Accounts Manager & Administrative Assistant and has quickly become a crucial member of our office team.

She is currently completing her Bachelor of Business Management and has been working full-time in accounts roles since 2022, focusing on day-to-day business management, accounting and payroll requirements.

When she’s not keeping the Bespoke office running like a well-oiled machine, you’ll find her spending time with her friends, heading to wineries and on weekend camping trips.
