My Story.
After years of dedication working in the fashion industry as an executive creative leader in design, a career I loved with a passion, I was presented the gift of time, to step off the corporate treadmill, to slow down and embrace my life and be. I remember distinctly, at that moment, I was filled with fear. My career had been my life, my friendships, the security I needed to take care of my girls and I loved it!
Fast forward, I allowed myself three days exactly to feel the pain and then it was time to move on and feel excited about the next chapter of my journey. I had a plan and a sense of peace that this was meant to be.
I remembered something my dear friend and life coach Adriana Caliri once asked me, before this all happened. She asked me, how I thought I would feel if I took my life back and were to start a new personal chapter. There was no doubt, it was crystal clear, I visualised the emotion of feeling free and joy!
This at once, gave me the courage to believe in the beauty of the gift. I have embraced every moment to wonder, be curious and feel the lightness that brings me joy. I am consciously aware my desire to create runs deep and I have realised that I keep coming back to a few common themes that connect me to my values, feed my soul and inspire my life and design aesthetic.
I would love to share my world with you, taking you on a journey that is unwritten and slowly unfolding. It starts with a compilation of images, artists, places, people and nature that inspire me on many levels. The intention is for you to see and feel the things that are important to me and perhaps they can inspire you in some way. And perhaps they can encourage you to slow down and take a moment to embrace your joy in all its forms.
