Award-Winning Mentor, Artist and Designer

How my design journey began

Thanks for dropping by! I’m Ivy, a Kabi Kabi and Kooma descendent based in Australia.

I love all things art, design and wellbeing! As a certified Massage Therapist for 15 years, I turned Licensing Artist, Textile and Surface Pattern Designer during the global pandemic in 2021.

My design journey started when I couldn’t find material I liked at my favourite fabric store. So, with my love for drawing and art I decided to learn textile design and create my own.

During my childhood, my Mother used a singer vintage sewing machine to make me matching skirts and tops. Using the most gorgeous fabrics, these matching outfits would fit me perfectly and sparked my love for fabric and sewing.

With a BA at the Queensland University of Technology in 2001, it wasn’t until 2021 that I discovered the art of textile design and I found a new passion for creating pattern designs.
