She is also trained in dress-making, hairdressing and ceramic arts but as she was born with about eight arms less than the hindu goddess, Kali, many of her skills take a backseat at times.

Astrella works out of her home studio in suburban Melbourne where she where she was rescued by her two fur-kids, Queen Ellie and Marley Jumanji. Her favourite part of each day is being woken up by them. They are both from the shelter and diligently pay their dues to society by helping foster other four-legged friends in need. As social butterflies their favourite weekend destination is the Brighton Dog Beach.
She hopes that her designs helps everyone own their power.
