As the Founder and Creative Director of Living Well Interiors, I established the company with a vision to educate and upskill local handcraft makers in South Africa and preserve the country's cultural handcraft skills. I am dedicated to creating unique products that celebrate the rich heritage of South African craftmanship, blending traditional skills with contemporary design. I have a passion for Slow Manufacturing and a keen eye for color, pattern, texture and a love for creating a tactile experience. I believe in the transformative power of beautifully handcrafted heirloom pieces that uplift our artisans and our customers.
