With my passion for colour and the influence it has on brands, businesses, our lives, homes and our wellbeing, it was a delight to be surrounded [...]
Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting a woman who has inspired me for quite some time, the brilliant Judith Van Vliet. With a global career filled with creativity and colour, Judith is the founder of The Color Authority, and host of the podcast Let’s Talk Color, where she speaks with colour specialists from [...]
As we step into a new season and quarter, April feels like the perfect time to embrace a fresh, creative mindset. Over the past few weeks and months, conversations with a couple of inspiring women have sparked the idea to develop two unique creative workshops. I’ve been intentionally seeking out collaborations with coaches, artists, practitioners, [...]
