Who Are We?
Made On The Left is run by a devoted committee of independent designers currently on a voluntary basis. Our official title is “The Board of Made on the Left Inc.” – but we like “The Team” much better…
Jacquie (Co-Founder)
Position : Chairperson & Web Guru
Jacquie is a web content administrator for a local design firm. She has a frantic approach to craft; often flinging herself between falling to pieces over the stress and producing fabulous functional designs. Jacquie is back at MOTL after an 18 month break while she finished her Bachelor of Science and started a small business. She’s the perfect person to talk to about business plans, angel investing and how to cope when wholesalers are mean to you.
Position : Graphics Guru & Treasurer
Nicole studied design and illustration and after working in graphic design for many years, wanted to get back to making things with her hands after spending so much time on a computer. Ever since developing and exploring her interests in printmaking, sewing, laser cutting, drawing cute animals, felting, photography, vintage children’s books, fabrics, paper (and many more), Nicole has been unstoppable! She is currently focusing on developing her label Tall Rabbit and spreading a little bit of cute throughout the world.
Position: Applications Manager & Photographer
Andrea has always been in love with all things handmade and creative. In high school she was offered an apprenticeship with a well-known manufacturing jeweller but she chose instead to study photography and specialise in small product commercial work. Andrea just recently moved her studio from Melbourne to Fremantle, Perth and is excited about meeting all the creative minds on the Left side of Australia as well!
Coming Soon – Profiles for Vanitha Heart, Ashleigh Whyte, Karla Fox-Reynolds, Julia Robinson and Clare Jacobsen.
