In September 2003 I came across a re-enactment club in my area and became involved in their activities. With little sewing experience, I decided to make my own costumes and strive to achieve a high level of authenticity in keeping with their "living history" aims. I began hand sewing and documenting my work towards the end of 2004.

Soon after I happened upon the Australian Costumers’ Guild and the local cosplay scene, which drastically broadened my approach to costuming causing me to look into many new concepts and techniques. I am an organiser of Adelaide's AVCon and try to regularly attend Brisbane Supanova and Manifest in Melbourne.
