A bit about me
15th July 2004 - the day I walked out of my deadend job on a road to discovery!
I reached this point after gaining a degree in 3D design, 18 years in graphic design and time out to bring up two children. Life didn't begin at 40 but it changed dramatically. Led by a passion for glass and a dogged determination to succeed, my business is steadily evolving.
It began in the garage at home, selling my jewellery locally. Now I have outlets around the country and in Ireland. I have moved to a fantastic workshop in Wem, North Shropshire and, whilst I concentrate on the design and making, I have a team of people helping behind the scenes to help move the business forward.
One of the unexpected pleasures of my business life are the fascinating characters I meet on my travels. Whether it is fellow designers and creators, my suppliers, business associates and especially YOU, my customers, I have realised what an incredible world this is. Thanks to one and all.
