In my thirties, I made the life-changing decision to follow my passion for clothing, style, and the arts. Despite the initial shock it brought to my family, I took the bold step of leaving my job and pursuing a fashion design degree at the Canberra Institute of Technology. It was an intense yet incredibly rewarding experience. I obtained a Bachelor of Design (Fashion Design) and truly honed my craft.

​

The creativity in my work is heavily influenced by the exquisite and intricate artistry of the early twentieth century. I find immense inspiration in the meticulous attention to detail seen in the clothing of that era, such as the delicate tucks, intricate hem ruffles, elegant buttons, and graceful lace inserts. These elements continue to captivate me and play a significant role in shaping my creative process.

​

In every piece I design, I pour meticulous care and attention into creating a one-of-a-kind garment. My goal is to blend contemporary elegance with individuality, using only the finest fabrics, captivating embellishments, and captivating textures. I am dedicated to crafting timeless apparel that transcends fleeting trends. Each creation is carefully thought out to prioritise comfort, flattering style, and long-lasting quality, ensuring that it can be cherished and worn for years to come. I firmly believe that my designs are more than just clothes; they are lasting investments, imbued with passion and expertise.

​

Beyond fashion design, I am also deeply passionate about artistic expression. I dabble in oil painting, sketching, and digital art, drawing inspiration from the vibrant beauty of nature. Capturing the world through my lens, I edit and manipulate photographs to evoke emotional colour palettes, which I then translate onto canvas through painting. This multi-faceted approach allows me to explore and express my creativity across different mediums.
