Designer Maker, Headpiece & Costume Jewellery – Vibrant, Unique, Always Delightful

As a child, I loved all things creative. I spent most of my free time drawing, making my own cutout paper dolls and costumes, and dreamt of becoming a fashion designer. But as I grew up, priorities changed; and many years later I ended up getting enrolled into a PhD program in engineering. To cope with my stress and anxiety at work, I started learning different kinds of craft as a way to improve my mental well-being, and my passion for art and craft was soon rekindled.

The pivotal moment came when I came across a blog post about Geisha hair accessories. I was instantly mesmerised and wanted to learn how they are made. I gradually taught myself the traditional Japanese craft of Tsumami-Zaiku through the limited resources I found online, and I polished my skills with countless nights of practice. Then, on my 29th birthday, I decided to leave everything behind and set my goal to become a true artisan.
