About Kim

Kim learned to sew as an 8 year old and from that moment knew she wanted to be a fashion designer, enrolling in the TAFE fashion course.

Kim's commitment to sustainable fashion and innovative design was recognised through multiple awards, affirming her belief that creativity and purpose could go hand in hand. Before graduating she was offered an incredible opportunity at Billabong—one of Australia’s most iconic surf and lifestyle brands and from there quickly progressed into women’s design, creating prints that went on to become bestsellers.

With a focus on educating the next generation of creatives, designers and changemakers. To inspire and uplift, to encourage new ways within the fashion world.
