About Me
Me...
I was Born Feb '99, in the UK.
I'm a Pisces, I practice witchcraft, and yes - I'm Queer.
I've always been fascinated by crystals and pretty rocks, and this flourished into witchcraft, of which I still practice today.
I was around 16 when I was figuring out my sexuality... It was hard to accept at first - what does this mean for my future? Telling my family? I'm so too late figuring this out! (BTW - there's no such thing as 'too late')
I've accepted my sexuality now, and I also identify as non-binary - so they/them pronouns please!
Education
I attended college to study Media, and graduated in 2017 - this is where I learned what I know today about photography, website building, photo and picture editing and more.
In 2017 I studied VFX at University, graduating in 2020 (in isolation - booo) with a 2:2
Both of these courses were invaluable to me, picking up photo and video manipulation skills, product photography, 3D modelling and so much more.
​
In 2020 I took a 6-month placement for digital marketing. It might seem like a complete 180, going from media and VFX, to digital marketing, but opening my business in 2020 is what sparked my adoration for digital marketing. Researching algorithms, marketing techniques and more ignited my passion.
Today I am perusing a Digital Marketing Apprenticeship, and I'm enjoying every minute of it!
The Biz
I've been working with polymer clay since around 2015ish, but never really had the know-how to set up a business.
Slowly improving my skills across the years, the 2020 pandemic hit, and lockdown was enforced.
Well, might as well throw myself into learning business now and finally set up my own!
It was an exciting journey as it continues to be... I'm so excited to see where this business will go!
