What did you want to be when you were growing up? Did it always involve fashion or was that something that appeared later on in life?
For as long as I can remember I have always loved fashion and from a young age I had this dream of being a fashion designer, I’m not sure where the love for fashion came from as my parents aren't into fashion at all, yet that love for fashion has stuck with me, I can’t seem to shake it off.
Originally you studied Fashion design, how did you end up becoming an internationally recognised fashion illustrator?
I originally studied Fashion design here in Sydney after High school yet quickly realised that sewing was not my strongest suit so I diverted from study into Visual Merchandising with David Jones, where I resided for nearly 9 years. I kind of fell into illustration, a friend had told me about Instagram and I was immediately addicted! I posted a little illustration of a card I did for my brothers anniversary and as I was running late I left the faces off the illustration, I posted it on Instagram and from that received my first job, I just thought “ lets give illustration ago” and since then haven’t looked back. I have to keep pinching myself that this is my job, I have meet some incredible people through Instagram it has truly been a dream!
On average, how long does it take for you to produce an picture?
On average for a private commission about 6 hours and then for a big job, I have spent a few months on illustrations, it just depends on the brief and what the job entails.
