What are your morning rituals?

I start with looking at my diary to see what appointments I have scheduled I and then work from there. This usually involves looking at my notes that I have given myself the night before, my work has no set routine so creating a to do list is important. Then I wake up my son (5 times on average!). I love my morning COFFEE and my kitchen which leads to the next question…

Where do you feel most at home?

My kitchen, it’s a great space for conversation, for preparing & making food. It really is the heart of my home.

How did you come to the career you’re in now?

After raising my children, I decided it was time to respond to the creative gene that runs through my family. All my children are creative, I have artisan and makers that are generational. I headed off to university to fulfil a lifelong dream and completed my degree in Fine Arts with first class honours.

What advice would you give to your younger self?

Do not be self-conscious; to be curious and explore as much as possible. Travel and be brave enough to make mistakes and to remember the past is the past  - don’t regret anything.

What is a product you just can’t live without?

Tequila.

How do you relax?

Spending time with loved ones.
