"I designed this print with womenswear in mind. I did alot of observational drawings and photographs of the Harakeke, as it was just coming into flower at the time I was designing this print. I thought it would be stylish to incorporate the elongated nature of the flower buds and leaves. Some of the flower stems I saw in my local park were way taller than me!"

"I was fortunate enough to discover my love of drawing and painting at art class in high school and felt drawn to pursue an artistic career. I moved from the family farm where I was raised to Auckland to study graphic design at Auckland Institute of Technology. My first creative jobs were in home decor, painting ceramics for several Auckland tableware companies. I loved seeing how a decorative design could sell a product. In 2014, after about a decade in the graphic design field, I got re-acquainted with the field of surface pattern design and since then have had some wonderful opportunities to develop my work in this direction. I love going for walks in nature and my patterns often get inspired by what I discover there. I observe and photograph plants that catch my eye, and if possible collect specimens to draw back in my studio."
