My favourite part of my job is when we work at creating new beading designs.  Beading is such a huge component of my collections. I also love to do photo shoots. 

What are you reading at the moment?
I am reading “Creativity” by Osho.

What are you lusting after at the moment?
I am lusting after going to a yoga retreat on an island someplace tropical. With massage every day, a good-looking pool boy fanning me with a palm leaf and feeding me pealed grapes whilst I lay in a hammock.

Top three songs on your play list?
Sigur Ross
Air
Spandau Ballet
I can’t name my favourite songs as I like all their work.

When the groom sees the bride for the first time. This is so cute.

An inner child.

A good sense of humour.  And kindness.

Not to take everything personally.

A stroll around the Camberwell Market and then wine in a cafe with friends.

Both

A ticket to Italy.

Three words that describe you best.

People have described me as “fairy-like”.
