Australian fashion illustrator, Megan Hess, burst on to the scene as the cover illustrator for Candace Bushnell's book, Sex and the City. Since then she has gone on to illustrate for some of the world's leading luxury brands, celebrities and personalities, as well as build a personal brand empire of illustrations, homeware, fashion and so much more. As a multiple award winning author, she has extended her brand into the world of children's books with her chic and well traveled character, Claris the mouse, who is as fashionable as she is inspirational.

After working with Megan for just over 6 years I am always fascinated by her. Her effortless style, incredible talent and admirable down-to-earth personality has made a remarkable impact on me, but also allowed me to grow and challenge myself whilst working on her brand in the Middle East and briefly in South Africa. In 2016, we hosted an intimate influencer launch event with The Plaza, New York which was the cherry on the top to several inspiring years of working with Megan.

I chat to Megan about her brand journey, her vision for her personal brand as well her ever-stylish little mouse and what we can expect from her next.
