About
Nyssa is, to put it simply, a varied creative artist from Brisbane, Australia. Her day job is housekeeping (!!) in boarding houses at a day and boarding school for girls. Her alternate income is occasional commissions in design and front-end web development.
When her friends are asked to sum her up in single words, they describe her as smart, inspirational, diverse, multi-talented, small, kind, funny, creative, analytical, industrious, original, playful, cute, compassionate, crazy, sweet, thoughtful and loyal. On the other hand, Nyssa describes herself as shy, accident-prone and geeky.
While Nyssa currently lives and works in Brisbane, she hasn’t always. She was born in Geelong, lived in Adelaide and also spent six months in sunny ol’ England. In August 2008, she’s heading back to the UK on a Working Holiday Maker visa for about 2 years, where she hopes to travel the UK and Europe and work in various places in between.
