Profile Information

I Love Hats Because?: I make hats, I wear hats, I am intrigued by the potential of new thermoplastics, new fibres and the inspirations created by others.

About Me: Trained at Kelvin Grove Home Economics college, with two year millinery course which focused on both straws and cloth. Inherited hat blocks from mother. Take up opportunities to workshop with overseas and Australian milliners to expand knowledge and explore new techniques. Now operate a bespoke studio besides the sea.
