Fashion – Brisbane

I have just graduated from Queensland University of Technology for Bachelor of Business and Fine Arts (fashion). Like many of my creative peers I have been drawing and making clothes from a very early age. In 2010 I was awarded a scholarship to travel on exchange to India to study at National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT) in New Delhi for 5 months with two fellow QUT fashion students. Living and studying in India was a very interesting and certainly an eye opening experience for me. My exposure to this amazingly rich and diverse country is continuing to have a great impact on my art practice and on my way of thinking. In the future, I hope to strengthen the connections I made while living within this community and am planning to develop more work inspired by the experience.
