Born in Mackay QLD, Amy is now settled in peaceful in scenic Beechmont with her two greatest achievements – better known as Tilly and Eddy. Amy came to LIVIN after she met Casey and, wanting to be a part of a team that is really making a difference, has been thrilled to have the opportunity to work with such an amazing group of people. Growing up, Amy fancied pursuing a variety of creative endeavours: from filmmaker, to florist, to photographer.

From Sydney, Steph taught herself how to ride a bike as a teenager, dodged a tattoo apprenticeship at 16, later got her undergrad degree in Psychology, and travelled the world to 36 countries, got bitten by a tiger (nice one, South Africa), all before the age of 25!

  “I think I actually saw someone wearing a shirt on the Gold Coast, and then it magically started appearing in my social media feed!” Tegan says, and we agree – whatever brought her to us must have been magic.
