A 20-something from Melbourne, Australia who loves cars, fashion and technology.
I grew up in a family of six with 3 brothers (no sisters- although I desperately had wished for one).
My third middle name: Indy, is after the Indy 500.
I grew up around cars and appreciating cars.
For me though my greatest love about cars was the technology in them and the freedom having a car allowed you. The lifestyle you wanted.
I’m also a massive tech nerd. I became obsessed with technology at the age of 4 when I was given an old used computer from a family friend.
Even though all I could do on the computer was play Tetris (from a floppy disk) and type the alphabet (it became a game in itself)- I was hooked.
I got my first proper, functioning computer when I was 12 and it became my baby. My family weren’t wealthy and I had to teach myself how to use it, and most importantly how to fix it.
I always knew I wanted a good car when I got my licence, but of course money was a factor. My first car was a 1996 BMW 316i, then after that a 2005 Audi A3. However, while I was at University- and living out of home, I decided that I should downgrade my car as the costs of maintenance was far more than I could afford on a part-time supermarket wage.
I bought my first ‘new car’ (demo-used vehicle) which was the Toyota Yaris in 2012.
In 2015 I started my own blog and social media pages (mainly Instagram), in response to not getting my ‘dream job’ and decided that I needed to have a digital portfolio.
This escalated to what it is now. I have over 50,000 followers across multiple platforms and love the community I have created.
I’ve been so fortunate to be able to do what I do and have been creating content for nearly 7 years now.
I’ve also had some crazy experiences working for some amazing global brands including BMW, Focal, Bentley, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Mazda, Nissan, Porsche and more (see PRESS).
I’m not really sure where this journey will take me, but as long as I get to do what I love, then that’s all I can ask for.
