In the early 90's I graduated from a Wellington art school with a Diploma of Fashion Design & Technology.
Through persistence I secured my "dream job" as a designer with a large swimwear company in the big smoke of Auckland.
Next I moved to my "dream location" in Rarotonga in the Pacific Islands and worked for 12 months as a designer/production manager for a small swim/resortwear company where we exported to holiday destinations such as Tahiti, Hawaii, and Samoa.
Years of adventure travel in the USA and Europe followed before I returned to NZ and set up my own Childrens wear label - little*STAR.
Itchy feet and sense of adventure lead me to Australia just over 16 years ago. I've worked a variety of jobs including several years afloat in the waters off WA, NT, & TAS.
I'd always used Photography to document my travels and I went on to hone my skills through two years of full time study to complete my Diploma of Digital Imaging in Hobart.
So here I am, with a broad background of life experience, a background in Fashion and a love for producing beautiful images.
If you'd like to be a part of something beautiful, send me an email introducing yourself and your ideas and let's make it happen!
PS - I've a lovely little studio space at beautiful Rosedale on the south coast of NSW.
