At the age of sixteen, she began the collective Bats of Leisure with her brother Aaron Billings. A practice of creating hand-made embroidered garments, persisted into her early 20s, alongside a practice of film-making. ‘Wilderness’ a fashion film, co-directed by Aoife for a Bats of Leisure collection, was a finalist for Melbourne Fashion Festival’s ‘Fashion on Film’ competition in 2014.
