I’m obsessed with listening to?
Podcasts and audiobooks - I listen to at least two podcasts every single day and a few chapters of whichever book I am listening to. My music obsessions are Nick Cave, Wu-Tang Clan, Jimmy Barnes (specifically when he was playing for Cold Chisel) and Frank Sinatra.

I’m obsessed with creating?
Everything! I particularly love to take photos and style outfits. I am also obsessed with cooking/all things food. I have only ever really worked as a creative and I feel incredibly grateful for this.

I’m obsessed with going to?
Alta on K Road for date night, Waiheke Island (because it is home) and my bed (or any bed really, I am incredibly lazy and adore bedding so this is my happy place)!

I’m obsessed with reading?
Sorrow and Bliss, My Year of Rest and Relaxation, Harry Potter, anything and everything by Lena Dunham, The Gentlewoman magazine and pro abortion/feminist initiative content.

I’m obsessed with the art of?
Sofia Coppola, Alma Berrow, Salvador Dali, Claudia Kogachi (particularly her horses) Suzanne Koller, Laila Gohar, Yoko Ono, Orfayo, Nick Herd, Grace Coddington, Sean Ryan and @yungkombucha420 cakes on Instagram.

I’m obsessed with the photography of?
Benoit Thinieres, Annie Leibovitz’ Alice in Wonderland campaign for VOGUE (it’s actually not my taste but I cut this out of VOGUE and had this on my wall from about age 9 - so it is nostalgic and brings me warmth), Harry Were, Peter Lindbergh, the photos in recipe book ‘Dirt’ by Gemma Walsh, James Lowe and @timdfilm, who I more recently discovered on Instagram and has the best eye for people/portraits.

I’m obsessed with the design of?
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Isamu Noguchi, everything for Loewe, Phoebe Philo, Miuccia Bianchi Prada, Raf Simons, Yohji Yamamoto and too many more to list!

I’m obsessed with wearing?
The Halo Band in gold, it is beautiful and I adore all of the pearl pieces.

I’m obsessed with helping/doing my part in?
Purchasing quality fashion that lasts a life time and avoiding fast fashion and fabrics that are unkind to the planet.

I’m also obsessed with...?
A24 and Wes Anderson films, Stanley Tucci talking about Italian food, After Work Drinks Podcast, cheese, dirty martinis, my partner Conor, Rashida Jones and Sienna Miller (they are just so effortlessly chic, Sienna Miller dressed in The Row for her latest TV series made me swoon), my mum Louise, fancy pyjamas, art galleries, horses, eating food in bed, Adam Driver and Adrian Brody (...they are my hall passes, when Brody played Dali in Woody Allen’s ‘Midnight in Paris,’ I nearly passed away), reading and Birkenstock clogs.
