But first, let me share a bit about myself on a personal level…
I am an Artist, Mentor, Mother, Author, Educator, and Speaker. As an avid traveler, I have an ambitious dream of seeing the Earth from space (yes, it's a bit crazy!).
Having previously excelled as an international interior designer, my heart was captivated by the art of macrame in 2016. Since then, my mission has been to empower women to awaken their creativity through the mindful art of knotting. I've even penned three delightful macrame books along the way.
As a mentor to busy and creatively-driven women, I guide them in turning their abundant ideas into profitable businesses. With my guidance, they can navigate the path to success.
You may have come across my work in publications such as the Sunday Telegraph or seen me on national TV. I regularly contribute macrame tutorials and share insightful tips in esteemed magazines like Mollie Makes, The Moment, GoodHomes, Psychology Magazine, Hobby Craft blog, and many others.
My purpose is to help you effortlessly create stunning macrame pieces, providing you with a space to express your creativity with a unique voice infused with fun and ease.
I've had the privilege of working with countless creative women, and it's no coincidence that we've found each other here in this corner of the internet. You are meant to be a part of our beautifully connected community—a community of strong, passionate, and creative women.
