About Tiger + Lilly Designs

Tiger + Lilly is an up and coming jewellery brand in Australia owned by Tamai. Using hand drawn illustrations, glass and stainless steel earring posts she can create the most beautiful earrings. Some more about me: Based in Tarrington, VIC. I am a Mum of four, wife to an amazing hardworking man and Dad (you might know him better as the wood man from Tarrington). We are both Kiwi born (Go the All Blacks - no AFL in our house)! We also share our home with 2 cats. Vegas and Nevada who are getting rather old these days. I've always been a creative person, My favourite subjects at school were Art & Home Economics... And when I'm not designing, you'll find me hanging with my family (Usually driving them all over the state with their sporting commitments) and when I get time, you might see me out running. Where it all started: About 10 years ago I started studying a Bachelor of Accounting. After a year of studying, I took an elective photography unit and from their my love of colour, editing and digital art began. BYE BYE Accounting! I started studying photography and became a well-known newborn baby photographer in the local area, with an added side hustle; of making earrings. My love for digital drawing and design has grown over the last 2 years and now designing earrings + accessories is how I choose to spend my days between a busy life of 4 kids. Don't ask me how I do it, most days I am only just surviving! Tamai x Read their story
