Model, content creator, social media manager and designer
Based in Byron Bay, Tili moves between fashion, creativity and the slower rhythm of coastal living. As a freelance model, content creator, and remote social media manager and designer for two US swimwear labels, her days are about visual work and time spent away from it — surfing, moving her body, and being close to her favourite people.
A recent month spent travelling through Indonesia shifted something in her. Stepping away from the constant pull of being online, and immersing herself in the rawness of nature, brought a new kind of clarity. As she puts it, “Inspiration is flowing much easier when my mind has time to wander and isn’t filled with constant noise.”
Her mornings are shaped by ritual rather than urgency. She’ll often sit outside in the sun with breakfast, coffee, and a single essay from Brianna Wiest’s 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think. “I like that it gives me a new perspective and thought to focus on and keep coming back to throughout the day.”
Style has evolved alongside that shift toward simplicity. What was once more layered and impulsive has become more minimal. Lingerie, too, feels less like an everyday essential and more like a personal detail — something chosen for herself rather than for anyone else. “I’ll wear it as a little something just for myself.”
The Edit
Eat & drink – Roadhouse: coffees in the AM (after pilates) and dinner in the PM.
Shop – Deiji Studios (Byron Based) and Foyre (online).
Reset – Being winter I have been loving finding a quiet spot around Lennox Lake (lake Ainsworth). Or Dolphins beach in town as it’s always quiet and feels like you have the whole beach to yourself.
Hidden gem - It might not be so hidden anymore because it’s always busy but Smokey’s Bottle Shop, in Lennox Head! You can buy a beautiful bottle of organic wine and have it on the street in Lennox - there is just something wonderful / romantic about a glass of wine on the street and people watching with your friends.
Tili wears the Balconette Bra and French Briefs in Sand.
