Answers to Q&A

Why did you want to become a model?

I grew up in a small rural town surrounded by a slow life and silence. My mother used to model in the 80’s and I didn’t take much interest to her friends suggestions to model until I was around the age of 14 when schools start asking you what you want for the rest of your life. You could say it was always apart of my fate but the thought of a traditional path felt suffocating. I realized that the small town that created me kept getting smaller, and smaller and I wanted a way out, I craved what life might be life outside of it. That paired with always finding solace in self expression through clothes. It let me dream a life in fashion and storytelling. 

What makes you special?

I feel what makes me, me is my patience and calm nature. Spending the last decade working as a model in this high pressure and fast paced world, I’ve been able to keep steady and build a sustainable career. Approaching high pressured situations with patience, ease and my experience to push myself and keep focused to get what the shot and or client desires. 

What are you passionate about?

I love creating. My soul is fuelled by creating and staying curious. I’m an artist as well as a model and you’ll always find me writing something down in my notes, taking photos, planning the next thing I want to paint or bake or knit. It’s keeps my energy flowing and moving in this world.

When you are not modelling, what do you do on your day off?

I like to switch things up, I’m currently relearning French and painting or knitting to some capacity but most days you’ll find me going back to my slow roots. I usually rise with the sun and fall into my perfect day which includes but is not limited to moving my body in some way, fuelling my body, walking as far as i can and lying under a shaded tree by the beach, maybe taking a nap or two. I really enjoy being present for everything that life is. 

One thing you never want to do again:

Taking red eye flights, I am not built for them.
