I'm a surface pattern designer based in Melbourne, Australia. I've licensed with various companies all over the world such as Lucy & Yak (UK), RICE (Denmark), Urban Outfitters (USA), Nordstrom (USA), PBS Fabrics (USA), as well as, Spotlight (AU/ NZ), Picnic Folk (Australia), Monster Threads (Australia) and Annabel Trends (Australia). My proudest moment was when I'd designed an entire homeware collection for Target (Australia).

love creating designs that adds joy to everyday life.

Whilst living in Sweden, I fell in love with the Danish homewares and accessories company RICE and was inspired by their work. It was what sparked my decision to become a surface designer.

My style is whimsical, colourful, with a touch of fun. I draw inspiration from nature, in particular birds, flowers and rainbows. I love devoting my time and energy to creating beautiful things as it gives me so much joy.

I'm an illustrator, an artist, and a surface designer

As Seen In

I've been a creativepreneur for over ten years and as much as I love it, it is a tough gig, my friend. I've explored all sorts of print-on-demand platforms, and in 2019, my Etsy shop reach its 1000th sale milestone. It didn't take me overnight to reach this level of success. Instead, it was years and years of hard work.

When I started licensing my designs, the most frequent question I got on Instagram was, "How did you do it?" That's when I realised I needed to share my journey with other creativepreneurs.

I love sharing what I know with other creatives
