About me

I am an artist. I make lifewreaths or healing mandalas and art to celebrate life.

I work with companies and agencies to spark some fresh ideas for campaigns, pop up shops, parties and visuals for marketing purposes.

I collaborate and consult on a variety of projects from music videos, theatre, film and media.

I am an organic food lover. I create delicious dishes.

I am a healer , healing myself of stage 4 metastatic breast cancer.

I was a designer. I created one off pieces of jewellery, clothing and shoes using sustainable materials.

I created costumes and worlds through music videos and film.

I used to teach fashion design but now I teach how to survive life.

I am a mother.
