With an inclination for rural time travel from an early age Bindi spent a lot of her childhood visiting antique stores in country towns across the great southern land: Australia. She has a love of all things printed vintage and collectable. Drawing for Bindi is a natural and compulsive engagement, she is experimental and colourful; always striving to evolve her work.
Bindi utilises mainly hand drawn but also computer drawn techniques, creating story lines through her artwork in collaboration with brands and labels. Past and current clients include: Billabong, Paul Frank, Frankie Magazine, Yen Magazine, Peter Alexander among others.
Other than that Bindi is named ‘Bindi’ which we think is pretty cool.

She was born in Darwin, a land of lagoon monsters, and her favourite tool is a biro with thin paper. She is the author of the comic ‘Girlie Pains,’ and would like very much to go to Canada and France and Japan and live out of suitcases and hotels for a long time.
