Apart from general running’s of a shop I had the opportunity to style the shop with shabby chic furniture sourced by both myself and business partner. Scouting through boot fairs is a very well known territory for me especially Kempton Park Racecourse!
    I am a motivated individual not shy of physical work as I too have had my share of moving furniture, rebuilding furniture and so on. My visual creations have not only been in recreating new spaces but I also built a natural flare with floral designs.
    I enjoy working as a team and thrive to achieve the best not only in myself but also with others I work with. Besides owning a shop my background has been in fashion and PR, so I understand the concept of trends and attention to detail. I have gained valuable experience in having my own business about planning, organisation, meeting deadlines and keeping within budget.
