My Buzz

Winning #SBS means the world to me! I have very much doubted myself but persevered anyway. This has given me a HUGE confidence boost and i'm beaming with pride. My social networks and website has been crazy busy with new fans and orders. I have also had some stockists contact us asking to stock my work after seeing it on Theo's twitter!

Her aim is to offer unique, colourful designs, whilst supporting independent companies, designers and suppliers, with most supplies from independent UK stores to provide a “proud to be British” product.

My Business Tips

The 3 P's! Planning, Patience & Persevere.

Planning. I work to a schedule to tackle all areas of my business so none get neglected. Make sure you focus isn't on one area otherwise you will be missing out on other important tasks.

Patience! It doesn't just happen over night. The biggest tree takes the longest to grow.

Persevere, you will get knocked back again and again... But keep trying and when you get there it's an overwhelming feeling (which makes it all worth while!)
