things you might want to know about me...
- I have a Bachelor of Design(Hons) majoring in Fashion accompanied by a minor in Textile Design
- I've spent my life living in the o-so-stylish NZ cities of Wanganui, Auckland, Palmerston North and my beloved Wellington
- I'm happily married to a wonderful fella named Adam
- My maiden name is Mardle and I thought it was the perfect name for my fashion endeavour!
things I'm a little too obsessed with...
- fabric! I can't resist it in the store and I can't bear to throw it out... the challenge is finding the time to make it into something.. I am unsure if starting a fashion label is helping to remedy this 'problem' or just adding to the chaos!
the dream...
I hope to develop Mardle into a lasting, reliable and innovative NZ design house. With fun at the very core of what we do and always keeping Mardle as a New Zealand Made product...I believe the sky is the limit.
Here I am...dreaming BIG. Are you with me?
