About
I started my creative business journey way back in 1999, when I sold my artwork on market stalls, in cafes and then exhibited in London & Geneva.
Over the years, I've had many businesses using my creativity: ran kids' art camps, taught watercolour, opened a shop selling my printed fabrics, launched a tech start-up that took me to Silicon Valley, and eventually I went online with my business.
I've learnt the art of the pivot and have reinvented myself many times over 26 years, with my creative talents at the heart of everything I do.
My work has been featured in Vogue Living, House & Garden, The Sunday Times. I've been interviewed on countless podcasts, and been a finalist and won awards.
I'm also a judge for the Ausmumpreneur Awards, for the Creative Entrepreneur Category. And I was invited to be a mentor at The Branson Centre For Entrepreneurship.
Today, I live in Gerringong Australia & run Bespoke Backdrops & Branding, a successful design business with clients globally. I am also a creative business mentor, with an online group program "The Creative Business Hub." We have members in Australia, New Zealand and USA.
I am the organiser and host of The Creative Business Summit, launching in August 2025 at The Pavilion, Kiama.
So, when it comes to running a joyous and profitable creative business, I've been there, done that and got the t-shirt. I truly know my stuff!
Plus, I'm a mother of 2 now-adult children, so I truly understand the juggle and balance needed to be present for both my family and my business.
