I'm offering
Being strong, entrepreneurial and ambitious with a vivid and creative imagination, I have taken flight in my own direction and worked very hard to make my dreams become a reality by building my own businesses in both upcycling, art and interior design. This is where I explore colour, experiment with styles and give life to unique projects and bespoke pieces of art, fashion and furniture from my own studio and shop front. I work this alongside my other passions for party planning, event creation and entertainment, sprinkling an extra dusting of magic, by having a meticulous eye for detail and ever evolving ideas and being a professional Unicorn is certainly something only dreams are made of. I am now at a point in my journey where I'd like to work alongside other like-minded professionals in similar industries, on a part-time basis, adding new skills and exciting opportunities along the way.
