“My range is constantly evolving, growing and changing just as I am as a person.

I have not only created a business but a lifestyle which is tailor made to me, shaped by my creativity, inspirations and hard work.


I am thankful to have an awesome support network, who have allowed me to follow my passions…”


Clothing is art... don't be shy to flaunt your individual style....



I have never been one to follow trends and always had trouble finding off the rack clothing that fit my unique body shape and style.  This lead to making my own and adapting my passion for colour and design to a new medium... fashion.   



Over the past decade I've spent a lot of time designing simple, well fitted garments that are comfortable and flattering to a variety of body shapes. 


Through experimentation and the desire to create earthy colours on eco fabrics, (which are not always readily available in Australia) I have developed skills to be able to decorate and dye my own fabric designs, which are truly unique.


As an eco-aware designer I endeavour to create clothing with respect for people and the environment. 


I source my fabrics from reputable Australian stockists and love working with GOTS certified organic cotton which I use for a majority of my range as well as Bamboo viscose and other lush natural fibres.


I encourage ‘slow fashion’ as opposed to over mass-produced disposable fashion by producing quality unique garments that people will cherish.


I have been apart of the Original Eumundi Market family since Spring 2008 and am so grateful to have such an awesome local outlet to sell my creations and meet my customers face to face.


I love showcasing my range at Woodfordia's WOODFORD FOLK FESTIVAL and the PLANTING each year...  (Its my 2nd home! lol... A place where you can freely be your true self surrounded by thousands of like-minded souls while immersed in culture and creativity) 

 EARTH FREQUENCY festival is also one of our favs. 


Each year I meet more friendly faces to join the Lime Zest tribe and endeavour to make them feel special in their new comfy threads that enhance their own unique style.


Over recent years I have begun holding kids craft workshops at Caloundra Music Festival and Earth Frequency using offcuts from  home studio ... A great way to reduce waste but also a great way to share my knowledge, skills and creativity with the next generation.


Lime Zest is not just a business but a Life style choice…


Created and tailored by my passion for Art and Design, Travel, Music Festivals and Family. 


I can’t wait to meet you soon xx
