ABOUT ME

Hello!
I grew up in Auckland, New Zealand and lived the last 10 years in sunny Sydney, Australia, studying, working in bookshops and architecture.
Now I am living in London, hoping the sun will come out and stay out for a bit.
I like furniture and gardens, books, unusual prints and fabrics. I love animals and the great outdoors, going for random walks and ending up in unexpected and surprising places.

PHILOSOPHY

eat lots of good food. Laughing and smiling is also important.
