About Jacinda Barrett

Thanks for visiting. As some of you know I am an actress and live between Los Angeles and Australia where I'm from. My job has always taken me on the road. Traveling extensively since I was 17 years old through south-east asia, europe, africa and the states, I have been hugely impacted by the way people live and design the world around them. These are some of those influences.
