A little bit about me...

An acute appreciation of good design, style and the arts has been bubbling up inside me since I was a child. I can still vividly recall an incident during a pre-school photo shoot when the photographer grabbed a crayon and scribbled on a piece of paper instructing me to pose as the artist responsible. ‘But I didn’t do that picture!’ I said looking with disgust at the photographer’s scribble. Apparently unaware of the offense he had caused, the photographer simply patted me on the head and told me to say Cheese! The thought that my mum and dad might see my photograph and somehow associate me with a pathetic scribble was very distressing! I was mortified! So you see even as a 5 year old I took great pride in my artwork, calculating each brush stroke with the utmost care and attention. This passion for colour and texture was nurtured throughout my schooling and went on to become the inspiration behind my university studies and subsequent professional endeavors.

Having served my time in the high paced commercial world working alongside some of Sydney’s top designers, I decided it was high time for a change and so the Pretty Paper Co. was born. Stationery design gives me the freedom to flex my creative muscles in a much more personal arena and allows me a glimpse into life’s loveliest celebrations. 

So there you have it – from weddings and birthdays to baby & bridal showers I hope my pretty paper helps you celebrate life’s special occasions in style.
