Born on the Mornington Peninsula, Cassie's love and hate for traditional Aussie pride can be observed through aspects of her work, from the classic middle aged man seen down at the pub rocking a mambo shirt, to the young grom tearing up the waves at Gunnamatta. In 2015, Cassie completed her Diploma of Art and Design at Monash University, and is continuing her studies with a Bachelor of  Communication Design.
