Live fashion illustration for design-conscious brands
Watercolour portraits of your guests, painted live at your event, capturing the character and atmosphere that fashion reveals.
What fashion says first
I paint what people wear when they want to be seen, which at events like yours is always. Working as a fashion illustrator, designing costumes for theatre, and styling events for Melbourne Fashion Week and the NGV have taught me that clothing speaks volumes before anyone says a word. Silhouette, gesture, the way fabric falls – I've learned to eavesdrop; illustration is how I take notes.
Whether I'm capturing guests in what they wore or illustrating pieces from your collection, the artwork turns the atmosphere into something tangible. Watching a portrait take shape is guest engagement at its most unforced, and every finished piece is shareable content, for your brand as much as the person in it.
Guests carry home a small signed piece of the occasion. Original watercolour, created to last. Each illustration becomes proof of presence: something to frame, not forget.
What I offer
Individual or group portraits
Face portraits or full fashion illustration
Product illustration
A5 or A6 format

For arts organisations engaging audiences and donors, illustration creates tangible proof of the occasion to frame and keep. Original artwork that marks their presence at a cultural moment and keeps them connected.

Luxury brand activations
Pop-ups, brand anniversaries, product launches.
For brands seeking cultural cachet beyond their category, live illustration creates more than atmosphere. Each piece becomes a design object that carries your aesthetic home, long after the event closes.

Design-conscious corporate
Milestone celebrations, conferences, end-of-year celebrations.
Not every corporate event needs illustration, but the ones that do involve champagne and guests who dressed for it. Guests receive artwork that reflects the event's significance, making a business moment feel personal.

Working together
From first conversation to event day, the process runs smoothly and without fuss. You can trust that every detail is handled with care.
1. Brief & creative development
We begin with a conversation about your event, what you're creating, and how illustration fits the atmosphere. I'll talk you through timing, paper options, and what's possible within your vision. I can provide custom-designed paper incorporating your brand elements, or work on brand-supplied stock with advance samples (watercolour has opinions about paper weight).
2. Execution & experience
I arrive early with everything needed, then work quietly throughout your event, completing six to nine fully finished A5 watercolour illustrations per hour. Depending on the event format, I paint guests on the spot while they wait, or photograph an agreed number as the event begins and hand over the finished illustrations at its close. The process creates its own gentle energy that naturally encourages guests to linger longer.
3. Artwork & keepsake
Guests collect pieces throughout the event or at its close, depending on format. Each illustration is painted with artist-quality pigments on my archival cotton paper or your approved stock, becoming something they keep – carrying a little of the occasion home.
Common questions
A few practical details about how it all works.
How far ahead should we book a live fashion illustrator?
Some brands brief six months ahead; others ring three weeks before a launch. Both approaches can work. Get in touch and I'll let you know what's possible.
What illustration formats do you offer?
Full-length fashion illustration, face portraits or product illustration, in A5 or A6 formats. Group illustrations can be discussed according to format and brief. Guests can be captured in their own style or wearing pieces from your collection. If you have specific format requirements, share those early and we’ll work out what’s achievable (usually more than you’d expect).
What do guests receive?
An original A5 or A6 watercolour, signed and made to keep. All work is painted with artist-quality pigments; when I supply paper, it’s European-made archival cotton. Illustrations can be presented in archival envelopes with backing boards, or in your own branded presentation materials.
How many guests can you illustrate?
Six to nine fully finished A5 watercolour illustrations per hour. Simpler line-sketch styles or smaller formats can be discussed where greater throughput is required, and we’ll work out pacing during planning to match your event format and guest flow.
Where more guests need illustrating than the booking allows, additional capacity can be provided with extended time onsite, further illustrations completed in my studio for delivery to you, or a second illustrator.
How is a brand event priced?
Each brief is quoted individually, based on event format, guest numbers, illustration style, paper requirements and travel. Share your date, venue and expected guest numbers and I’ll come back with a proposal.
How does this tie in with our branding?
I can design custom paper incorporating your visual identity, or work on branded stock you supply. I'll need advance samples to confirm suitability for watercolour. The illustration style is my artistic signature, but we'll ensure brand cohesion through paper design, format, and any palette or stylistic elements you brief.
What makes this different from branded merchandise?
Illustration creates original artwork: signed, dated, and one-of-a-kind. Guests leave with an original watercolour, the kind of object people actually frame and keep, and your brand aesthetic goes home with it. Design object, not corporate giveaway.
How does paper customisation work?
Custom-designed paper can incorporate your logo, event details, and illustrated elements. Alternatively, I can work on your branded stock with advance samples to confirm it suits watercolour. We'll determine the approach based on your design requirements and event aesthetic.
What space and setup do you need?
A place to sit and a surface to work on – ideally a table and chair, but I can adapt to your setting. I bring everything else, including discreet portable lighting if needed. We’ll agree the setup and timing with you or your event producer.
Do you work outside Melbourne?
I'm based in Melbourne but work across Australia and internationally, and bill travel at true cost without markup. Whether your event's in Sydney or Singapore, get in touch for a custom quote.
Let’s talk
I work with brands creating occasions that belong on paper, where fashion, culture and craft meet. If that sounds like your project, I’d love to hear about it.
