Hi, I’m Quanita, everyone just calls me Q.
I created Qski.com.au in 2021 to showcase my work and my creative journey. Feel free to get in touch and ask me anything.
What is your day job?
My day job is all about data from a technical and analytical perspective at enterprise and strategic level. I have over 25 years of experience in data management and analytics in both the private and public sector in a wide variety of industries.
What is Qski About?
Qski is about sharing my passion for being creative and creating kawaii and cute things. I have (we all have) a need to be creative and Qski is my way of nurturing that part of myself. I would love to help you nurture that part of yourself too.
Tell me more?
I was born in Cape Town, South Africa in 1975 and immigrated to South Australia in 1991. I am married to Al and we have a 7-year-old son Astro who is totally awesome. I’m a cat person, we have 2 fur babies, Loki (Maine Coon) and Moriarty (British Shorthair) . Moriarty does not know their given name -we call him Fluffy because he is huge and Fatty was a bit mean. Loki gets called Loki Lokes, Lokals and lots of other things – because he really is a god of mischief.
All of my creative passions are self-taught and a continuous journey which I will share with you in the blog. I am most drawn to kawaii and cute art, design and illustration. My blog will include lots of stuff about these things:

Coffee or Tea?
I very rarely drink tea, when I do its chamomile or if I am ill and sooky hot and sweet English breakfast (once or twice a year).
I don’t drink coffee. On really cold days I will sometimes have a hot chocolate.
I have a diet coke every morning for the caffeine, if I have more than one I stay up all night.
