I am an eco maker and slow fashion designer of wearable art and reusing what you've got to make art.
I am passionate about sustainability and teaching how to create with what you've got to make keepsake gifts or items to use in your home.
I was awarded the Eco Makers Award 2025 by the Eco Collective. Where I show cased an eco printed collection of textiles in circulation on a runway at Melbourne Fashion Festival.
In 2024 I was awarded the Slow Fashion Movement Earth Challenge, where I used a holey blanket to create a beautifully eco printed Cozy Coat, show casing that you can make with what you have to reduce textile waste.
I've worked in sustainability supporting schools and students for over 10 years. Now I like to teach others to create to have fun and feel fulfilled with creating. I believe everyone can create and have fun.
