Mermaid Beach,QLD

Summary

I enjoy living by the beaches as I have done for almost my entire life as I love to surf, skate and any outdoor activities. I love to travel and spent just over a year in Canada working, travelling, snowboarding, hiking.

I have started a small clothing & apparel brand where I screen-print my own designs on blanks & thrifted pieces, I run a website through Shopify and attend Burleigh Heads, Byron Bay & Brunswick Heads markets.

I am a big fan of music and enjoy attending live music gigs & festivals, however I am hopeless if I were to be handed an instrument.
