Wardrobe styling is my favourite activity. I love playing with clothes and collaborating to actualise a vision. As a stylist I prioritise client comfortability, director's vision and sustainability. Our current fashion industry is rife with waste, toxic attitudes and a focus on perfection. My professional practice aims to rewrite this and shift focus back onto the individual and highlighting creativity rather than perfection. To do so, I exclusively source from sustainable practitioners. I thrift, loan vintage, collaborate with local designers and upcycle pieces. This also allows me to be inclusive of a wide range of budgets, making my services accessible to anyone. I primarily work on shoots, whether it be fashion editorials, personal marketing campaigns or commercials, I am ready to be your portable stylist. I also have experience and love working on performance looks. In terms of client communication, I prefer to have 1-2 meetings prior to shoot/performance day to ensure goals are met and there is enough time to make the necessary adjustments. Depending on the job, one of these meetings will include a fitting or test run of the look and any other communication can be done in person or online. Each job is different and I am committed to tailoring my practice to best suit your needs. Please reach out if you have any questions, I am always happy to talk clothes :) Creative direction and fashion styling usually go hand in hand, however I am open to and love the role of creative direction as my sole purpose. In this role, I conceptualise ideas, manage the team, make all creative decisions for a project and generally lead projects from concept to completion. I love to be in charge and I love to collaborate. My process for CD is similar to styling, with a focus on client comfortability, director's vision and sustainability. However I also manage the team/project and tailor my practice to suit. Photography for me was born out of the desire to capture my looks in the way that I want. I shoot on a cannon digital and vintage digital. I love bts photography and capturing a more candid aesthetic. I am more recently exploring portrait and nature photography, but my main passion lies in fashion and music.

20+ years building software and finance companies, primarily in the strategy & design aspects and a few years ago I decided I wanted to build a more tangible, physical product. A needed a new belt but couldn't find what I wanted so decided to design it instead. After 50+ prototypes over 4 years, a patent, design protections and now a Good Design Award, YOKU is finally available. The belt combines my love of good design, usability, sustainability and durability. It is as beautiful as it is practical and should outlast it's owner. The parts to make the belt are sourced from all over the world and then the belts are made, finished, packaged and sold from right here in the Blue Mountains.
