Now, unskilledworker sees her newfound passion as proof that life keeps happening at any age that may be. After a battle with cancer and a detox from alcohol and drugs, who would have known that – by picking up a paint brush in 2013 whilst sketching with a friend – one could shoot to international stardom? 

Also felt by Alessandro Michele, the creative director of Gucci launched her into success by inviting @unskilledworker to illustrate the Gucci Fall 2015 collection for the show No Longer/Not Yet, shown at the Minsheng Art Museum of Shanghai. Tees, sweaters, bags and more make up the limited edition 40-piece capsule collection.
