Your host
I have always had that intuitive urge to 'create' something with a purpose: a new vegetarian recipe, a cake that would still be calorie-friendly, a soap that would nourish my skin with essential oils, a paining that would tell a story of my childhood, a candle that would smell divine?By day, I'm fully immersed in the world of ICT (Information & Communications Technology), helping product teams develop outstanding software applications that enhance user experiences. On occasional weekends or during my moonlight hours, I find immense joy in hosting craft workshop experiences at my charming apartment in Sydney or setting up a retreat for you to connect with yourselves or your loved ones over a craft therapy with my cutie vintage retro caravan somewhere in the Kangaroo Valley or Blue Mountains :) It's my way of pursuing my passions (thank God I found a way), do what I love (or else no point yea), exercise my entrepreneurial skills (or at least I would think so), stay emotionally healthy (this one is real), meet new people (when Sydney reportedly is world's 3rd worst city to forge new friendships), and do my bit of raising funds for Dementia and promoting mental health. For I believe the new luxuries are truly the experiences, freedom and health. In my journey of hosting these unique experiences in Sydney together with my partner Bob, we have come across a range of creative people, many of whom discovered things to be a fun hobby and some who have taken it further and started selling stuff online. Our pursuit of the little joys of life continues as we eagerly anticipate sharing these experiences with you!
