Message from the Shine Director

My creative journey began at just three years old when I stepped into my first calisthenics class. By age 11, I transitioned to dance, which launched a 15-year professional career performing in shows and casinos across Australia and internationally.

Creativity and entrepreneurship run in my family. In 1979, out of frustration with finding costume materials, my mother opened a trimmings and remnants retail store in Pascoe Vale. Growing up around the shop, I later stepped into the role of Operations Manager, juggling the family business alongside motherhood and building a home. When my mother retired and sold the business in 2004, I briefly pivoted to designing children’s swimwear, but I deeply missed the face-to-face connection with the creative community.

Guided by my dance roots and a passion for textiles, I set out to create a new creative hub. In December 2012, I opened Shine Trimmings & Fabrics in a beautifully renovated building at 421 Graham Street, Port Melbourne. What started as a local passion project quickly blossomed; by 2015, we expanded with a wholesale warehouse in Altona to accommodate our rapid growth.

Today, Shine Trimmings & Fabrics boasts an extensive catalog of over 15,000 products, operating across retail, wholesale, and global e-commerce channels. Alongside a dedicated team with backgrounds spanning costume design, fashion, dance, and marketing, I am incredibly proud to supply creators worldwide and help their unique visions shine.
