I grow up in a town called Morrinsville known for its cows and drug testing their children. It’s a hole, never go there.
In 2000 I moved to Wanganui in the hopes of studying Fine Arts but was told, post interview that I was “too immature” to attend that year. So I attended the foundation course. During that year I decided to study Fashion Design instead of Fine Arts, partly because of the marks I received in my fashion elective and partly because I couldn’t see much of a future in art and to this very day my Dad still questions that decision (gay germs and all that).
Whilst studying at the Wanganui school of Fashion, I developed my passion for fashion, design and illustration. During my final year I launched my first clothing line at the “show and tell” graduates fashion show (2003), happily named D-formation.
Over the past year I have started up my own little clothing business, D-formation clothing and am now selling through Dandylion in Wellington (Bank arcade).
Have had artwork in the Sarjeant gallery review and was part of the graduates show “brooching the subject” at the flying horse gallery.
