How about a brief introduction?
Hi. I am: an illustrator and designer specializing in apparel and accessories. In love with textile and pattern design. Inspired by everything, but mostly travel. A jewelry maker by hobby (www.ermadid.com). A momma to two wild kitties and being the best lady-friend to a super duper amazing man. I have: been a featured artist in Juxtapoz Magazine and the Contemporary Book of Illustration. Participated in art shows around the globe. Illustrated for a variety of things including band posters, my very own line of Keds, skateboards, magazines, t shirts and even larger than life chalk and paint murals. I am always on the lookout for new and exciting projects and collaborations.

What made Gocco so special for you?
The tiny space that is needed to print since I have a tiny apartment and the super easy clean up!

Any tips on using a Gocco that you’d like to share?
I need tips! Anyone have a secret supplier that doesn’t overcharge?

What’s your biggest accomplishment to date?
To be able to live off of my art and illustration. I feel pretty grateful.

How about a brief introduction?
I have always liked print making, all that effort to try to get the perfect edition, and the tons of paper in your house. I like to draw and paint and make monsters come alive.

What made Gocco so special for you?
I love the fact you can do it at home, no real space is needed, no permission or vast amounts of money out-layed… all very accessible, and portable.

Any tips on using a Gocco that you’d like to share?
I have fallen into the basic exposure, with one screen, maybe then blocking off a little and changing the colours, but then hand painting it. As I have the basic set, registration can be a killer sometimes.

What’s your biggest accomplishment to date?
Coming back to Australia and jumping in, trying to get the perfect work life balance. Not turning into a complete hermit in the process.
