about me

hi, i’m molly.

Fulltime sketcher and daydreamer since ‘95 and fully educated Graphic Designer since 2017. Born and raised in Christchurch, New Zealand, you’ve always been able to find me with a pen, paintbrush or gluestick in hand. Since Kindergarten, armed with stationary, I would leave a trail of glitter through the house making birthday cards. Over the years, I’ve trialled every hobby under the sun - needle felting, jewellery making, embroidery, sewing, knitting and so much more. This passion for creativity lead me to study a Bachelors degree in Visual Communications design, and the rest is history!
