I have always had a creative side since my childhood. While all the children were playing, I would sew clothes for my dolls and draw pictures. I always loved spending time on my own, being productive, using my imagination and creativity while making things. I started making journals from the age of 7 years. As someone who loves writing, I first designed journals that were special to me and that reflected me. Then it turned into a hobby and now a business where I share what I create with people around the world. Even though I don’t know the people who buy my journals, I think there is a bond between us. Joanne started to buy my journals a while ago. I understand she now uses them exclusively while recording her experiences with spirit in the next phase of her journey with spirit, a series called ACCESS. Joanne loves my journals so much, she asked me to create journals which reflect the colours and feeling of each book in the AWAKENING Series to sell on her website. A partnership which is very special. Every journal is unique and is handmade by myself.
