If I weren’t a maker I’d be... an architect.

If you could collaborate with one person dead or alive who would it be? David Lynch.

If I could run away I’d go… Sardinia. I went on a trip last summer in the south of Sardinia and it was so so special. I think about it every day. It feels like the place someone could run to and never have to encounter their old life.

If you could learn a new skill what would it be? Learn a language.

Last book you read? Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami

Favorite flower or tree? We recently planted an Illawarra Flame tree in the backyard and it is pretty special.

If money was not a factor how would you live your life? Pretty similar, the studio would be a bit fancier and I would probably drive a little faster.

Favorite holiday? Traveling in India when I was 20.

What song best describes your work ethic? "Are You the One That I've Been Waiting For?" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

Favorite thing to cook? I love cooking, more of a savoury cook than a baker. Recently I have been making fresh pasta with my daughter which is pretty fun.

How do you stay creative and inspired? Travel has always been something I use for inspiration. Living in Melbourne is quite isolated from the rest of the world so you have no other option but spend a lot of time on planes.
