What is your background?

I was born & raised in Sydney. To my friends I’m known as the ice skater and have been fortunate enough to travel to world as a result of it.

I’m inspired by Scandinavian design, the simplicity of their textiles and influences in design from what’s around them.

Who would you like to work in collaboration with or create something for?

In my secret 2nd life as an ice skater I often see costumes that are unconsidered. I’d love to use my textile knowledge to create unique costumes.

How can art and design contribute to society?

It has the ability to make the mundane into something special.

Overseas! As well as graphics and textiles, I’m interested in exploring photography. An integration of all those fields would be ideal.
