Katie Thorn studied BA (Hons) Fashion, Media & Marketing after attending Devonport High School for Boys where she was a Subject Ambassador for Art. After being inspired by the 2012 Annual Design for Humanity event by Billabong, Katie was inspired by the complexity of the research and design process behind fashion.

Katie has since gone on to work as a freelance photographer alongside her role as graphic design at Copyrite, an Exmouth based independent design and print shop.
