name Bethany Linz

position Textile Designer

birthplace Newcastle, Australia

how I got here I completed an Advanced Diploma in Fine Art at Newcastle Tafe, majoring in Painting and Printmaking (some of the best years of my life!!!). After graduating in 2005 I moved to Brisbane with my family. While I was there I studied Interior Design but deep down I always knew that I wanted to design textiles. In 2006 I managed to get a job in the beautiful Mokum showroom in Brisbane, that's where I met my present boss Stephanie Moffitt who was up from Sydney presenting her latest collection, and three weeks after talking to Stephanie I was moving to Sydney and designing in the studio.

some things I like I love having time to myself so I can unwind and do my sewing and drawing, but on the other hand any excuse to get dolled up is good enough for me, I love my lipstick (has to be tangerine), my Penhaligon's perfume, holidays on the Italian coast and Paris!!! When it comes to artists my favourites are William Morris and Matisse.
