In the Spotlight- Celebrating Craft, Confidence & Couture Millinery

Featuring in International Millinery Network Spotlight

Being featured in the International Millinery Network Member Spotlight is both an honour and a beautiful reminder of why I began this journey in the first place - to create wearable art that transforms not only an outfit, but the woman wearing it.

From the age of five, fashion was my language of self-expression. What began with sewing my own dresses evolved into a lifelong career in dressmaking and fashion retail, before I officially stepped into the world of millinery in 2009. I was captivated by one powerful truth: a headpiece has the ability to completely shift presence, posture, and confidence.

Today, every design is handcrafted in my Sunshine Coast studio, where traditional millinery techniques meet bold creativity and refined structure. My aesthetic balances sleek lines and impeccable fit with vintage elegance and modern personality. Whether it's a statement race-day hat, romantic bridal headwear, or a sophisticated cocktail piece, each creation is designed with intention - proportion, balance, and individuality are always at the forefront.

Over the years, my work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, featured in The Hat Magazine, showcased at Melbourne Spring Fashion Week, and presented at the Dubai World Cup. These milestones are incredibly rewarding, but the true highlight of my career remains the women who step out wearing my designs with confidence and joy.

Millinery, to me, is not just an accessory - it is wearable art. It invites you to stand taller, smile brighter, and quite simply, wear it like you mean it.

Being part of the IMN community connects me with like-minded creatives who share a commitment to craftsmanship and innovation. I'm proud to represent Australian millinery on both local and global stages - and even prouder to continue creating bespoke headwear that celebrates individuality.

If you are ready to transform your next race day, bridal look, or special event ensemble, I invite you to experience the power of beautifully crafted millinery.

Because the right headpiece doesn't just complete an outfit - it elevates the woman.

Wear it like you mean it, with a spring in your step & a cheeky smile!
