Taking the leap to do something i love

Auckland

Since I was a kid, I’ve always been an artist—sketching, building, creating. But life took me down a different path, and I became a builder, working with my hands to construct buildings and structures. It’s honest work, but something always felt like it was missing.

Then, one day, I discovered a passion I never expected—a love for crafting with materials in a completely different way. I’ve been dedicating my free time to it, and it’s filled a part of me I didn’t even know was empty.

Now, I’m ready to make the leap, to pursue this new passion full-time. But I can’t do it without your help. Your support will fund the tools, training, and resources I need to start this new journey.

Thank you for believing in me and helping me take this next step.

Use of funds

All funds raised will go towards machines, materials and support while I build this business. It is only me designing and sewing moving to full time will help me meet demand. At the very least, funds will be used for bull materials and hardware!
