I started out as a visual artist that was seeking to commercialise my craft, I studied commercial print and specialised in screen and offset printing in Queensland. After completing my studies at 22 I set about generating commercial artworks in the hopes of selling to interior designers and retail furniture stores. Just as things took off the GFC struck and my business didn’t survive. I went on to work in fashion retail for some time and found that I loved the visual merchandising side of things. The following years were spent in visual merchandising for Pillow Talk where I eventually became the National VM CO-ordinator. Overseeing visual merchandising briefs with in house VMs. During this time I learnt about commercial environments, product placement, shop fitting, customer shopping habits and spatial awareness.
With a career change in mind I set out to return to commercialising art and this time decided to study fashion design at Torrens University. Where I knew I could develop surface patterns, work with fabrics and produce entire collections and capture emotive imagery through photoshoots and video.
I found that I loved and excelled in nearly every subject so choosing a direction to follow after completing a degree bought on an onset of decision paralysis. That’s when I started to really throw myself into a variety of internships so I could understand the industry more. I worked in the fashion department of Vogue Magazine Australia under Edwina McCann and Christina Centura, to understand the process designers take to work with Vogue and vice versa. Then I set out to understand commercialising sustainability which is why I worked with KitX under the assistant designer. Then onto Marcs where I was heavily involved in print design and development. After I earned my stripes I was hired back in Brisbane with Sacha Drake off the back of my internship. Which is where I gained a great understanding of designing for body shape and versatility.

Typi non habent claritatem insitam; est usus legentis in iis qui facit eorum claritatem. Investigationes demonstraverunt lectores legere me lius quod ii legunt saepius. Claritas est etiam processus dynamicus, qui sequitur mutationem consuetudium lectorum. Mirum est notare quam littera gothica, quam nunc putamus parum claram, anteposuerit litterarum formas humanitatis per seacula quarta decima et quinta decima.
Eodem modo typi, qui nunc nobis videntur parum clari, fiant sollemnes in futurum.
