I discovered a passion for creating gorgeous clothes when I took TAFE classes when my children were small. Sick and tired of having a cupboard full of unfinished, ill fitting items I enrolled in pattern-making and sewing classes just to learn how to properly fit and finish the garments I was sewing for myself at home.

After a little while, student volunteers were required to assist at a large fashion event in Brisbane, and as I could only help out during the day, setting up for this event, and not the actual gala, I was able to see the dress rehearsal... What a light bulb moment!

This is what I wanted to do; create gorgeous garments.

I now create one off or limited edition garments, ranging from formal attire, to elegant casual wear for women who appreciate elegance with a twist. Using fabrics sourced from many places, sometimes in very limited quantities, I design, pattern make and create all garments in my own studio.

I am inspired by everything, fabrics, silhouettes, architecture, art and nature.
I look forward to sharing my creations with you.
