I started painting boab nuts at Marnin Studio in 2011. My great talent and interest in printing has come from my grandparents. My interest in fashion design started in 2017, where we ran a fashion design project for the
Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair. I went to Melbourne as part of that project to look at different types of design including jewellery, shoe and clothing design. I have recently started my own business in printing with the support of the studio and their partner program, Design Within Country and the Earthed Foundation.

I love painting and designing as I can lose myself and stop worrying about other things happening around me. I love the space at Marnin Studio and also love the feeling that I can make others understand more about our culture. I hope to inspire other young local kids to get involved also.
