About Me

I have a strong sense that I was MADE to MAKE, and love passing that Maker passion on. Since 2007, I’ve designed and co-ordinated the making of Freshly Found products, photographed them, sent them around the world, supplied private and corporate customers, and taken them to markets and the Design Indaba. I love to design products, document the making process, publish tutorials and facilitate workshops.
