Established from a rural home in Sydney, Australia, 2023.

I'm a studying fashion designer, currently in my second year. Previously having completed a Diploma of Fashion Design at Torrens University, Sydney, in 2023, I've learnt foundational skills to the craft of patterning, designing, and construction. Having a desire to continue pursuing this career path, I've transferred over to the University of Technology (UTS), Sydney, enrolling in the Bachelor of Design in Fashion and Textiles.

Within my first year at UTS (late 2024), my garment submitted for the subject 'Fashion Cultures' was selected and featured in "Deconstructed Realities: The Art of Reworking Fashion" Exhibition hosted by UTS, Fashion Design Sydney (FDS), and M.J. Bale. Later on, in early 2025, the garment was reselected (alongside 4 other students at UTS) for the "Meet the Makers of the Fashioning Future" Exhibiton hosted by the Centre of Excellence at the Parliament House (refer to the Instagram post for further details).

Clothing is something I have a strong love for, something which brings great joy to my life. I always seem to notice where or what garment someone may be wearing. Specifically speaking, I'm fixated and interested by the finer details of a garment. I find myself leaning towards designing/creating intriguing yet functional pieces. The shape and silhouette of a garment may seem minimal, however, upon closer inspection, the complexity of form is seen within the unqiue patterning and construction. Moreover, well constructed and/or created textiles are always a treat to work with when given the opportunity.

This website is a hub for all forms of craft I shell out to the world, alongside providing insights into my works.
