When Elyse Knowles isn't starring on magazine covers or walking the catwalk, this blonde beauty means business - running a building and design company with her partner Josh.

Elyse Knowles 7 NEWS 2019

The couple recently located from Melbourne to their dream home in Byron Bay - but she's still keeping busy and flaunting her fashion with MYER and InStyle Magazine.

"I started modelling when I was 10 years old, so I've been working towards my dreams for a very long time," Knowles said.

"It's not all positive - you have a lot of knockbacks along the way - but I feel the knockbacks only make you stronger and make you work harder to achieve your dream goals.

"There is a lot of pressure, and I do put that pressure on myself to be the best version of myself."

Moving to Byron Bay

Elyse and her partner Josh are pursuing the sustainable life up in Byron Bay, where they've launched their design company J&E Projects.

"We're absolutely loving it there - it's a breath of fresh air," Knowles said.

"We get to live the best of both worlds - I'm able to live a relaxed life up in Byron, and then I get to come to Melbourne and Sydney where I work and get to live the city life.

"I'm at a point in my career where I can travel when I need to for work, and one day when I have a family I want them to be able to kick a footy around - so hopefully we'll be able to build our dream home one day up there.

"It's a very positive community where everyone lets everyone else in and thrive as who they are.

"We want to live there forever, so we're grateful that it's all working."
