She has worked as a photographer and writer for woman’s surfing magazines and has also made contributions to various other international magazines.

Her other international work includes being an art director in the publishing, fashion, and design industries doing photo styling and editing, and trend forecasting.

Some of the negative characteristics of this work, such as frequent contact with eating disorders, and airbrushing of unrealistic ideal photographs of women inspired her in her technique of portraying real, natural unaltered women.

Girlosophy is a series of bestselling and award-winning self-help/spirituality books. Starting with A Soul Survival Kit, there are currently eight published books in the series. They are directed at young women. They emphasize being an individual and true to oneself using big sister advice and fun and modern visuals from around the world with no photo manipulation.

Girlosophy: Real Girls Eat is an inspirational cookbook. The book makes it a point to stress that it is not a traditional diet book because it does not focus on eating to lose weight. Instead, it focuses on eating healthily. The book is divided into three parts. The first part is an information section providing facts and guidance on how to choose foods that are good for the body but also the environment. The next two sections are the recipe book. The first section contains contributions from real young women from around the world. The second recipe section and third and final part of the book is a compilation of recipes provided by her sister, Kate, a professional celebrity chef.
