I believe when women are rested, connected, and in their truth, they become a powerful force for good. At Shhh Silk, I lead with vision and heart, always staying aligned with the frequency of love.
I guide our global strategy, co-create meaningful collections with our partners, and nurture lifelong relationships rooted in trust, creativity, and shared values.
Everything we do is built on intention. Not just to create beautiful products, but to give back, uplift our community, and leave the world softer, kinder, and more connected than we found it.
At 19, I walked away from the life I thought I was meant to live and began again as a single mum. That moment cracked me open and changed everything. It taught me to trust myself, even in the unknown, and it became the foundation for the life I’ve built. A life grounded in purpose, growth, and love.
Becoming a mother continues to be my greatest teacher. It has shown me the depth of unconditional love, and also the importance of staying connected to who I am beyond motherhood. That journey back to myself has shaped the woman, leader, and creator I am today.
It would be a minimal, tonal design in soft, neutral shades like stone, sand, and warm ivory. Clean, calm, and considered. The pattern would have a natural rhythm, with flowing lines that reflect ease, strength, and quiet confidence.
Nothing loud or overstated. Just timeless simplicity, with an undercurrent of presence and unconditional love.
Somewhere within, a barely-there mantra would shimmer in the light: “She remembered who she was, and everything changed.”
Escaping to nature, ideally somewhere quiet and open, surrounded by trees and horses. There’s something about their presence that brings me home to myself.
I slow right down, journal, reflect, rest, and do the deep inner work that keeps me grounded in growth, pleasure, and a love-based frequency. It’s my way of reconnecting to what truly matters.
She remembered who she was, and everything changed.

I love exploring the deeper ‘why’ behind what we do, inviting our audience to see rest not as a luxury, but as a sacred ritual that helps them return to who they truly are. At Shhh Silk, I lead our brand and creative vision, making sure every detail, from visuals to messaging, feels intentional, cohesive, and deeply aligned.
I also treasure our team culture. It’s more than work. It feels like chosen family where real conversations and connection flow freely.
Outside of work, I find joy in teaching yoga, practicing self-awareness, and diving into life’s big questions. Most weekends you’ll find me at conscious community events, out in nature, exploring Melbourne’s food scene, or spending time with loved ones.
Doing my yoga teacher training and continuing to teach opened me to a whole new way of experiencing life, with softness, awareness, and devotion. It taught me to honour each unfolding moment, both in work and in life, as part of something sacred.
Over time, this practice has given me the gift of presence. It helps me notice where I resist the natural flow of life and gently let go. With that awareness, I’ve learned to move with more grace, patience, and compassion for myself.
It’s an ongoing journey, but one that allows me to show up more authentically, connect more deeply, and offer my gifts to the world with an open heart.
It would be a double-sided pillowcase, one side light, one side dark, honouring the polarities we all carry. Both are essential, both sacred. The design would reflect this dance through abstract, minimal art, inspired by yogic deities and archetypal figures that represent shadow and light, stillness and energy, softness and strength.
To me, it’s in holding both that we find wholeness. And what better place to rest your head than on a symbol of that truth?
Following my 80/20 rule, most of the time I eat clean. And on my 20, you’ll find me blissfully indulging in Melbourne's best burgers, wood-fired pizza, sticky date pudding, or polishing off an entire bag of chips in one sitting. Because... balance.
When I stop striving to become, I arrive in the truth of who I already am.

Being part of Shhh Silk gives me a deep sense of purpose. I may be in my 70s, but I’ve never felt more connected or fulfilled. I love knowing that each silk piece we send is part of someone’s self-care ritual, and I treat every order with that same love and care.
I manage our website operations, hand-pack every order with intention, and personally respond to each customer enquiry. For me, it’s about more than delivering a product. It’s about creating a moment of kindness, calm, and connection in someone’s day.
Becoming a strong, empowered woman in my 60s changed everything for me. It reminded me that it’s never too late to step into your power.
If I could design my own silk pattern, it would be inspired by Bali. Soft, grounding, and peaceful, just like the feeling I hope each customer experiences when they open their parcel.
My guilty pleasure is a quiet coffee followed by a long bath. It’s my favourite way to reconnect with myself.
Purpose doesn’t come with age, it comes when you choose to live with heart.

I’ve been part of Shhh Silk since I was nine, back when I used to fall asleep under the office desks while Mum built the brand from the ground up. Silk has been part of my life ever since, and so has this business.
Today, I bring a more technical lens to Shhh Silk, supporting the enterprise division through systems, process optimisation, and data-driven strategy. With a background in maths and engineering, and as an aerospace engineering student, I love solving complex problems and building structures that support our growth while staying true to our values.
Completing a marathon with less than a month of training was a defining moment. It taught me the power of commitment, the ability to push through mental and physical limits, and how much can be achieved by simply taking action and continuing to move forward, no matter the odds.
It would be a blend of bold, dynamic lines with elements of natural flow. A mixture of geometric shapes that represent structure and discipline, softened by organic, flowing curves that reflect my love for adventure and exploration. A pattern that feels both grounded and free at the same time, much like the way I approach life.
When I’m not deep in spreadsheets or systems, I find peace in nature through hiking, exploring, or just disconnecting to reconnect. It’s where I feel most grounded.
Fun fact: My dream is to hike some of the world’s most breathtaking trails, from Patagonia to the Himalayas; there’s nothing better than exploring nature on foot.
Action beats intention—start now, adjust as you go.

It's a huge privilege and pleasure to grow with a brand that is passionate about rest and self-care when society has tried to convince me that the grind is all that matters. At Shhh Silk, I craft visual concepts and assist with graphic design projects to achieve a beautiful blend of art and functionality. Napping is ironically one of my favorite activities and creativity boosters.
Back when I was in elementary school, I had a best friend who introduced me to Adobe Photoshop and Wacom drawing tablets. I was sketching in pads for as long as I can remember, so discovering the possibility of creating digital art and designs was such a magical moment for me. Since then, there was never a year in my life where I didn't create something digitally; it's probably the only constant in my journey as a multi-passionate individual.
I envision it to be a design that shifts through various shades of blue; soft and light, like a palette extracted from a glacier. The pattern would be an abstract combination of geometric shapes to evoke uniqueness and variety while possessing a youthful yet modest vibe.
Engaging in creative activities other than graphic design has always been my go-to for a quick yet deep recharge. I love illustrating, writing songs, singing, playing guitar, and editing videos, so I end up doing one of those when I need a pick-me-up or to simply nourish my soul. The most fulfilling part is that aside from honing my skills, I get to express myself and maybe even inspire others to do the same fearlessly.
How liberating it is to pursue wholeness instead of perfection.
