Mini bio
How it started.
Tara traces her creative career to a 2013 university internship, where she managed social media and made content. While studying design, she also began sharing styled café meals and flat-lays on Instagram.
Finding her audience.
After about two years of food and styling posts, she shifted towards travel. Photography became paid work as brands approached her for partnerships. A 2016 India trip with Beautiful Destinations was a turning point she later singled out for the friendships and creative exchange.
A creative practice.
She has an Honours degree in Design from UNSW. In her 2022 Forbes Australia interview, she described making photographs with her partner and spending weeks sourcing and arranging props for colourful home shoots. Travel, fashion and carefully composed everyday scenes all sit within that approach.
Beyond the feed.
Her work extends into fashion collaborations. She partnered with LEO LIN on Lunar New Year capsules for the Year of the Dragon and Year of the Snake. In January 2026, the label described both collections as sell-outs in its announcement with Capella Sydney.
