How do you feel about being a young creative based in Sydney?

Big picture thinking is applied to every article or object you produce… a shirt no longer is a “product” it extends into a mean-making, boundary breaking vessel for change.

You have recently released a new season of wearables can you tell us about it?

Every piece aimed to push the domestic sewing machine to capacity - evoking glitches and faults as part of the making process. Scrap material colliding and becoming one in new and exciting ways and discovering new ways to hold textile together for the human body to embrace! I also deep dived back into my print making and graphic training which is where I started. I want people to rethink the destruction of garments - the narrative of clothing having spills, frays, holes on them and reconstitute meaning to things!

And what’s next with your objects / furniture?

A chair series, collapsable pieces and collaboration with non-furniture makers! The objects always 

What is over the 2020 Rainbouu for you?

Only my nine bullet point manifestation card in my wallet knows this!
