Hi, I’m Tammy and I’m a Surface Designer based in Brisbane, Australia.

I spent many years dreaming of becoming a designer but my inability to draw always held me back. I later learnt several methods to create designs without needing to draw in a traditional sense and I’m now working in my dream job as a Surface Designer.


I licence my artwork to companies, sell products featuring my designs, and am an educator, mentor and Adobe Express ambassador. I'm also passionate about connecting communities, fostering creativity, and bringing people together through art and design.
