About Me
How I got into Crafting
Although I’ve always been an avid crafter, my crafting career took off big time in 2019, when I took part in the KykNet Kunsvlyt challenge, where I was fortunate to be runner up.
It was an amazing adventure where I had the opportunity to meet some of the best crafters in our country. It changed my life forever and opened up doors for me that I never dreamt possible.
My hobbies include calligraphy, mosaic, art journaling, textile print and eco colour and of course experimenting with silkscreen stencils.

In retrospect, that fateful challenge marked not just a competition but a turning point—an invitation to explore, connect, and transform. Today, I continue to embrace my craft with unwavering enthusiasm, forever grateful for the doors that swung wide open.
