I grew up surrounded by making. My dad’s upholstery workshop was my first studio, where I’d spend hours painting, sewing with fabric scraps, and experimenting with whatever I could get my hands on. That early love of play and creativity has stayed with me ever since.
Over the years, I’ve explored many different art forms, from painting and sewing to design and craft, and I’m still inspired by the magic of trying something new. Creativity has a way of teaching us to let go, trust the process, and find joy in the unexpected.
That’s the experience I love to share in my workshops. Whether you’re picking up a brush, learning a new craft, or simply curious to explore your creative side, you don’t need any experience, just a willingness to play. I create a warm, welcoming, judgment-free space where you can relax, connect, and surprise yourself with what you’re able to make.
One of my favourite things is seeing people light up when they realise they are creative, especially those who’ve always doubted themselves. That spark of confidence is why I do what I do.
I bring a background in visual arts, animation, and teaching, but what matters most to me is creating meaningful, joyful experiences where you feel supported and inspired.
If you’re feeling the pull to try something new or return to something you’ve always loved, I’d be honoured to have you in one of my workshops. Let’s make, laugh, and create something beautiful together.
