Tell us about your journey at Keshet - what is your role here?
Keshet is my first baby! I am the founder, CEO, Lead Designer, and Creative Director! It all started when I was a hairdresser who designed and made her own clothes. I used to get asked all the time, "Where did you get that, and how do I get one too?" I then went off traveling and started working with master tailors in India, co-creating my wildest fashion dreams in the most beautiful fabrics imaginable. I made a few extra pieces that I thought I might try and sell at the Salamanca Markets on my return to Tasmania. They sold out in about 5 minutes, and that’s where the Keshet journey began!
What things do you like to do in your spare time?
I am a mom of 3, two boys aged 6 and 16, and a daughter aged 13. I adore spending time with my children! We all love listening to music, so there is always a queued playlist going. When we can, we enjoy spending time together at home cooking, gardening, or just hanging out. Otherwise, it’s Sunday brunches, bike riding, or beach walks with our dog.
What’s an item you can’t live without?
My curl cream and morning coffee!
