Being Unreasonable and Unambiguous

Chapter 4 of my current bible: The 4-Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferris. If that title doesnt inspire you to buy it, than either you love your job, or no one has told you about this book. Sub chapter titles include: Doing the Unrealistic Is Easier Than Doing the Realistic, What Do You Want? A Better Question First of All, Correcting Course: Get Unrealistic & my fav: How To Get Geaorge Bush Sr. Or The CEO of Google on the Phone.

And it works! Inspired by this chapter I have been in touch with some of my absolute favourite bloggers (see my side bar). As a result I have some exciting opportunities coming up in the New Year (stay tuned).

Sustainability remains at the forefront, with natural fibres, ethically sourced Thai silk from my travels last year, and upcycled fabrics from local op shops. Faux fur, a treasure from my decade-old fabric collection, adds a layer of texture and nostalgia. Embellishments will include...

Drag Me to Bingo

A growing archive of event posters I’ve designed for Buttery Chard’s Drag Queen Bingo - where camp meets Canva and every theme is a new visual playground. I draw inspiration directly from the queen herself and the show’s ever-changing themes: from flapper glam and Queen Bey’s Cowboy Carter to Christmas chaos and retro ‘80s realness. Each poster is created using Canva, guided by a strong intuitive eye for graphic detail - a skill I didn’t learn, but one I’ve always had. (That said, I’ve since paired my natural instincts with formal training in design elements and principles.) Where I like to think high Camp meets Helvetica The Queens At the heart of Drag Queen Bingo is Buttery Chard , the dazzling alter ego of my dear friend Ryan. One of the things I’ve always admired about Ryan - long before the wigs and lashes - is his deep commitment to inclusivity.
