After a 20-year career making TV commercials, I realised I had lost the love of what I was making.
And for a maker the love is everything!
It was time to find a new way to contribute to the world. I enrolled in a three year TAFE course, determined to become a qualified tradie.
I remember my first class – one woman among a sea of smelly teenage boys. What was I thinking? But every week, I kept turning up and soon it all started to make sense.
Now I am a fully qualified TRADIE, with my own commercial workshop in Brookvale, where I build custom made furniture, and run beginner woodworking classes.
I invite you to have a look at my custom furniture page and if you have a project in mind, I’d love to hear from you. I also invite you to check out my ‘woodworking classes’ tab to see if you’d like to join me for a class.
I look forward to working with you!
