I am a Melbourne mother of three - two boys and a girl - and I have a background as an Art Director in the advertising industry.  To keep myself a little bit sane, in my 'spare' time (???!!) I draw the Carrie and Gorgeous Ladies illustrations.  I think of them as the angel and the devil who sit on my shoulders - Carrie being the angel, and the Gorgeous Ladies being the devil.

 

I love vintage fashion, shopping, eating chocolate, drinking white wine, The Mentalist and Law & Order series, non-politicaly correct comments, and spending weekends with my family, which also includes 2 dogs and 3 cats.

 

I hate cold feet, other people's bad breath and 40 degree summer days when the air conditioning doesn't work!

 

 

I am a graphic designer working between offices in Melbourne and Sydney, with a love for most creative pursuits including illustration, photography and copywriting, hoping one day to maybe even write a novel.  Living in Melbourne, but returning more and more frequently to Sydney allows me the enviable luxury of experiencing the perfect blend of Melbourne's endless cultural and gastronomic delights with the unmatchable weather and outdoor activities (read:  beers) of Sydney's coastline.

 

Loving nothing more than the company of friends and family, it is no surprise the unconditional love of our four legged friends is also a large part of my weekend indulgence.

 

 

Ignoring years of training in psychology and then graphic design, I spend my days writing children's books.  I very much enjoy drawing illustrations for Note Couture, and love going to the gym, eating chips in the shower, and imagining what it would be like to live on the island of Capri.

 

 

I am a student at Budapest Business School doing my degree in finance and accountancy.  As an essential means of self-expression I draw, and some of these characters have become the collection named 'The Doodle Girls' who are young femals in all types of different situations.  They are all cheerful and full of 'joie de vivre' whether they are walking the dog, going shopping, having a coffee, in the bath or just simply living their lives.
