COFA grad interview

My job is…
I work at Zen Garage and I am the brand manager.

I would describe my job as…
An amalgamation of passion related projects. It’s taken me many years to pull it off, but I’ve finally managed to combine all my passions; bikes, cars, design, fashion, music, photography and art into the one project which is Zen Garage. Being the brand manager allows me to curate and promote whatever it is I’m into at the moment, without feeling unnecessary internal or external pressures to promote things that I’m not into right now. This puts me in a constant state of Zen!

I’m inspired by…
For a long time I tried to only take inspiration from family and my past. I figured that I was the only me in the world, so as long as I took inspiration from myself, my past, then whatever I create would be original and true. I’ve eased up a lot of the years though and I now very happily take inspiration from popular culture, especially many grass roots sub cultures where you find individuals doing what they’re doing because they totally love what they do.

The best part of my job is…
I’m my own boss and I’m free to push whatever it is my heart is into, seeing others get into the stuff I’m into makes me happy. I’ve got great business partners who motivate, support and inspire me and I’m always meeting new like-minded people through running our Leichhardt store and events.

Fuel 4 Charity 2013

Fuel 4 Charity was a great success (phew!!!!). I’d been stressing about it for weeks. $30 for charity was a bit steep for many of the kids in our community. It was a big ask as most kids still live at home, and being into cars, they’re naturally broke! But the sun was out and thankfully people came out to play.

We raised over $9,000 for charity. Short of the massive $25k dream we initially had, but it’s money raised by individuals in the community without the help of any major corporate sponsors. For that I’m really really proud.

We’d still like to push for $10k so we’ll be raffling off a few goodies this week. Im sure we’ll get there.

It’s been a massive weekend for the Zen Crew. Friday morning we were at Olympic Park to set up our massive Zen Stand inside Motorex. Friday night the show opened and from there we ran our stand through to Sunday afternoon. We also ran All Stars Real Street Blvd. outside the show on Saturday.

My photos are up on Zen Garage. Friday setup pictures, Saturday pictures and Sunday pics!
