A collage in the style of Victorian era etchings, showing a waterfall landscape. A woman stands in old fashioned swimmers at the top of the waterfall, about to jump into the arms of a bear that waits at the bottom of the waterfall.

Hi there

I’m Anika. I’m an illustrator and collagist, textile and graphic designer, and bagel enthusiast.

I am the textile designer at Elk and a freelance artist and designer, taking on a variety of design projects.

I was the founder of fashion label The Gently Unfurling Sneak, which closed in 2018 after thirteen years in Melbourne and had a particular focus on intricate prints and brilliant colour. The Gently Unfurling Sneak designs are now available to buy on fabric by the metre, cards and various other products.

I’ve also worked in the art and design sectors with Craft Victoria and many small businesses. I hold a Bachelor of Creative Arts from the University of Melbourne.
