After getting engaged to my Zimbabwean born husband, I moved my life as a corporate head-hunter in London to the African Bush. This change of direction turned into a bigger adventure shift when I discovered my passion for designing jewellery. I now combine my previously untapped passion for creativity with a desire to create a positive impact.

"Conservation for me is about preserving the natural beauty of the world whilst adapting to humans incessant need to move forward and grow. By combining creativity with business and values I have joined action with spiritual and personal fulfilment, bringing people together harmoniously to improve the environment while driving me forward to be ambitious."
