About me
I’m a self-taught Paper Engineer living and working in Sydney, Australia
Paper is my passion…
I love the contradictions:
strong/delicate _ complex/simple
Through my business, Paperform, I have been dedicated to engineering high-end pop-up books and bespoke paper constructions professionally for 9 years now spanning a variety of applications: fine art, advertising, installation, set design, illustration, fashion and packaging.
Paper is such a humble medium to work with. It inspires and challenges me every time I sit down at my cutting mat.
I strive for creativity and perfection in every project I undertake.
I hope you enjoy my work.
Projects
- Hermès Summer PartyThree bespoke headdresses commissioned by Hermès Germany for their 2014 summer party celebrating the theme ‘Métamorphose’. Each paper headdress is unique in its construction, folding and interlocking without the need for glue. The guests of the black tie gala evening, held in Munich in a wonderful old chateau, were presented with the selection of different headdresses to wear upon arrival.

- Kenzo at The Corner ShopTo celebrate the 2012 unveiling of the first range from the new creative directors of Kenzo here in Australia, The Corner Shop asked me to make a HUGE Kenzo to hang in their Strand Arcade store. Not the best snaps, but you get the idea. Thanks to Sahra from The Corner Shop for the images from the night.
- David Jones: 175th AnniversaryDavid Jones commissioned me to create three lavish, heritage inspired paper ball gowns for their 175th anniversary exhibition in 2013. The gowns formed the centre piece to the gala night’s opening ceremony and marked the entrance to the exhibition held on the building’s decidedly grand 7th floor ballroom.
- Topshop/Incu/PaperformIn 2009, Incu and Topshop commisioned me to create a series of paper sculptures for the Incu Window Project to celebrate the arrival of Topshop in Australia. Everything I engineered for the project had a distinct English flavour working under the title ‘Best of British’ in a nod to Topshop’s heritage. They were dotted around the store for 6 weeks. The Topshop mothership also put me on their blog too! Too good!
