The Academy

I am a graduate of The Australian Academy of Design, and it's a tidy warehouse that houses amazing talent. Since it's private, it isn't as big or as well-known as other Universities which suits me just fine.

It nurtures each student and allows them to grow into their styles, challenging them to find their own way. I started here in 2009, and here are a few of my finished creations.


'Remembrance Red'; a 1930s evening gown based on the WWI poppy
