“Initially, I wanted help re-invigorating a four-year podcast project by developing a stronger connection with the handmade world and visually reflecting this more beautifully in my brand and my web and social media accounts.I felt my experience with my guests and audience was too fleeting and that the beauty of the world they described, which, at bedrock, was what really motivated and inspired me, was lacking in my branding.

When the Crafting Your Brand course was advertised, it seemed the ideal place to start despite initial misgivings that my work was outside the course remit.  Taking this course was a revelation!  an instant immersion in the new social, economic and environmental manifestations of the hand-made. Somehow you managed to make all this accessible, digestible and actionable.

Most memorably, you encouraged me to think beyond content creation to the global context of my work and how much more ambitious I should be in adopting it.  Understanding better the ascendance of the handmade, the drive for sustainability in fashion, the empowerment of women via craft and the role models leading the way to connect all these concepts and bring them to fruition has galvanised me. 

Now, rather than focusing on the mechanics of career renewal, I am instead keen to apply the principles of handmade luxury to my reinvention narratives. I have many exceptional references to explore and much to consider anew. I have set a new course for my work and can't wait to see it unfold.”
