Waiheke is a great place to be creative. We're surrounded by creative people, and beauty, and the pace of life makes you feel as if you are always on holiday.

I source materials from thrift shops as much as possible - they are such a treasure trove. I love giving fabrics a second life - they have so much mana when they have already been used as something else.

I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy making it. No two items are the same, so you can be assured of getting something unique.

To see my work up close, come to Upcycle Re-Design Store Waiheke, a collection of upcycled goods, all made by locals. We're open every day - see more at www.facebook.com/UpcycleWaiheke.
