I’m originally from Dumfries and studied Fashion Design in Galashiels. I was fascinated by textures and the way we can use natural materials to create something new. For me, natural colours and clean lines create a sense of calm, and I explored this a lot in my studies.
I strayed from the creative path to follow a career in finance. Don’t ask!
It took being made redundant to realise I wanted to get back to creativity, to find ways to bring nature into my life and to feel a deeper connection with my passions.
I tried a few ideas, but nothing seemed to take. And then one day, I was given a candle-making gift set by my husband, I made my first candle, and I was hooked.
