Hold on tight, cause here we go . . . . . !

Growing up in beautiful South Africa with such amazing culture and influences I've learned from an early age to appreciate and respect the beauty that surrounds us. Not just the beauty in material things, but the beauty in people, nature, and all the differences that makes each one of us unique. It was honestly not until I started traveling that I truly understood the value of this lesson.

I certainly think that once you cross the ocean for the first time, something within you changes. Your eyes open and literally a whole new world is exposed. You gain perspectives and experiences that change you as a human being. Seeing the "world" also reveals what you've been blessed with and the beauty within.

It is therefore with great appreciation that I get to do what I love - Design. I can find inspiration in this crazy but beautiful world. I love bringing unique elements and details into my designs. I think a design comes to life when you combine the old with new, vintage with classic, and rustic with elegant. I'm blessed that I can create spaces and events and hopefully leave a trail of beauty along the way. For the past few years I've had incredible opportunities to design for a living, now I have the chance to create for the love of design.

Starting my own business has been a journey. I'm am super excited to share with you the wonderful ideas, people and places I am discovering along this wonderful and exciting journey. This is a dream taking flight, so hold on tight, cause here we go . . .!
