Fashion was never just a career path for me. It was part of my DNA.
My great-grandfather was a wool merchant, trading textiles long before fast fashion existed. My mother later worked with the Benetton brothers, surrounded by colour, creativity and the energy of global fashion. From an early age I understood that clothing is more than something we wear — it tells a story about who we are and where we come from.
That understanding shaped my life.
Before settling in Sydney, I lived and worked across Asia, Europe and South Africa. These experiences exposed me to different cultures, craftsmanship and approaches to design. Fashion became a language that connected people everywhere I went.
I worked across many parts of the industry — as a stylist, buyer and manager — including roles with Brown’s London, Oroton and David Jones. But eventually I realised something important.
I didn’t just want to work in fashion.
I wanted to create something of my own.
