She became an accountant, married an accountant, then visited a psychic who told her to study interior design and Feng Shui. She has been practising since 2008, working with homeowners, property developers, architects, and global brands including HelloFresh and Roche Bobois.

You never feel like doing it beforehand, but you always feel great after. Lean in and practise at every opportunity. Use footage from smaller gigs to pitch yourself for bigger stages.
