I live down on Melbourne's beautiful Mornington Peninsula and am a busy mum to two gorgeous teenage boys and wife to a wonderful and supportive hubby, Warren. I work part-time as a chemotherapy nurse but have a full-time passion for all things millinery. It's my happy place!
I gained my millinery qualifications at the renowned Melbourne Fashion Institute and from the iconic Kangan Institute of TAFE. I love learning and I am constantly undertaking various short courses and workshops to refine specific techniques in hat making and to continually improve my individualised designs and styles.
I have a love of vintage fabrics, lace and embroidery and enjoy mixing these mediums up with modern materials to create headpieces with a unique flair. Using only the highest quality materials, my headpieces have gained recognition at local race days, at industry events around Australia and have been published in The Hat Magazine and Hatlines. My headpieces have also been seen trackside on finalists and judges of Fashions on the Field events and on TV presenters for racing.com, Channel 7 and Channel 78 in the mounting yard.
