My Values

Creativity
Creativity is at the heart of everything I do,
from joyful, pattern-led design to hands-on making.

Fun!
Creativity should feel enjoyable, not
intimidating. I believe in learning through play, experimentation,
and feeling proud of what you make.

Community
Sharing creativity brings people together.
Through my workshops and design work, I create welcoming spaces
to learn, connect, and feel inspired.

Sustainability
I choose thoughtful materials and processes wherever I can.
From upcycling in workshops to considered design choices, small
creative actions can make a difference.

Creativity is better when it’s shared and I’d love to share with you.
