I have been drawing and illustrating<br />
my whole life. My dad is an artist and I<br />
guess I was lucky enough to receive some<br />
of his talent. I began having my work<br />
published way back in 2001 when I was<br />
working on a teen magazine, and it just<br />
continued from there. I’ve had my work<br />
published in so many different magazines<br />
over the years, and now I have my own<br />
business, where I illustrate and design<br />
beautiful invitations.<br />
I don’t really have a set “aesthetic”<br />
– for me it’s important to translate<br />
what my client has in mind into<br />
something beautiful on paper. That<br />
said, watercolour illustrations and bright<br />
florals have become a bit of a signature<br />
of mine. And I do tend to lean towards a<br />
minimalistic style – it lets each element<br />
speak for itself.<br />
Inkling Design began in 2011 when I<br />
left Sydney and moved back home to<br />
Newcastle. When we moved, I wanted<br />
work that was flexible and something I<br />
could do from home. This was the perfect<br />
solution – to create a business that does<br />
design, illustration and invitations. All<br />
my favourite things!<br />

Inkling Design, Inga is all about gorgeous details<br />
I’m a perfectionist – and it’s hard to<br />
switch off when it’s your own business.<br />
But I have to. It’s about taking one job<br />
at a time because I love getting wholly<br />
invested in all things related to a client’s<br />
design. From finding the perfect shade<br />
of watercolour navy, to meeting their<br />
deadline, I like getting things done right.<br />
So I have to make time for myself!<br />
My favourite part about working on<br />
wedding stationery is the prettiness.<br />
Whether it’s illustrating the couple, the<br />
location, the flowers; it’s always going to<br />
be pretty and joyful, and a representation<br />
of a most happy day. I just love seeing the<br />
delight my clients have when they receive<br />
something so personal to them.<br />
My own wedding day was the happiest<br />
and most joy-filled day. It was one big,<br />
happy, crazy, love-filled party!<br />
