Creative Education & Brand Collaborations

Turning Products into Passion

Bringing international industry roots, published expertise, and high-success creative education to your brand or event.

With over two decades of experience spanning both the retail and educational sides of the international craft sector, I bridge the gap between creative brands, event organizers, and the everyday maker.

As a multi-passionate artist, former retail educator at Short Cuts Crafts, and an accomplished online and in-person instructor, I understand the consumer mindset inside out. I specialize in creating those "lightbulb moments" that inspire crafters to try new techniques, connect deeply with art mediums, and enthusiastically build their creative stashes.

Areas of Collaboration

Brand Ambassadorship & Product Demos

Guest Teaching & Live Events

Want to see your stamps, stencils, or mediums come to life? I excel at demonstrating how to unlock the hidden potential of art products. Whether showcasing how to blend everyday basics with specialized papercraft brands or creating inspiring live demonstrations on the retail floor, I create highly engaging experiences that connect consumers directly with your product line.

  • What I Offer: Live booth demonstrations, product-focused video content, and custom workshop curation utilizing your brand’s lineup.

From large-scale national craft exhibitions to intimate community workshops and virtual events, I design fast-paced, high-satisfaction classes tailored to your specific audience. My signature style focuses on simplified, low-mess mixed media and papercraft techniques that leave students feeling accomplished, confident, and inspired to keep creating at home.

  • What I Offer: Standard classroom instruction, dynamic 1-hour "Make & Take" sessions, and structured virtual workshops.

Industry Roots & Published Expertise

My creative journey is backed by years of diverse industry expertise, hands-on teaching, and media recognition:

  • Published Features: My original tutorials and artwork have been featured across three major art and craft magazines: Stitches and Craft (metal stamping), South African Craft and Home (mixed media), and Creative Hobbies (altered art).

  • Retail & Digital Education: In addition to serving as the resident Mixed Media Educator at Short Cuts Crafts, I have successfully founded and managed a vibrant online Art Club, a growing YouTube tutorial channel, and monthly virtual and in-person workshops.

  • Versatile Technical Palette: I possess deep, practical knowledge across a wide array of mediums and substrates, specializing in art journaling, altered art, assemblage, metal stamping, and advanced aging techniques (such as faux rust, patinas, and working with natural metals).

Because of my extensive background in the craft market and workshop industry, I bring absolute professional reliability to every collaboration. I design all sessions with flawless classroom logistics—utilizing self-contained, pre-packed student kits that guarantee a low-mess, highly efficient, and stress-free experience for event organizers.
