A little bit about me...
A love for all sorts of stuff...
I sat down with my aunt on the sofa for a cup of tea one afternoon and within 5 minutes I was up, looking for something or other, she said
"Helen, you are like a bottle of pop" - ouch!
Those pop bubbles, those thoughts, aspirations, ideas - there always seems to be something that I want to do, or try, or fix, or create, and even though I feel a bit embarrassed sometimes by the bottle of pop comment, I try to see this as a good thing as it’s an intrinsic part of who I am and I love to just experience and do - stuff!
​
I really value the sense of achievement that comes from working through something I once thought was beyond me and the pride that follows. It gives me that little bit more determination and confidence to try something new and take on fresh challenges.
​
​Creatively, seeing some inspirational work drives me to keep pushing and learning more. ​​I love a good story, unravelling the reasoning behind an idea and the thought process to get there. Taking the time to truly understand the why, the how and the could be, the connection, purpose and value of design and how that can impact our lives.
​
Jon Burgerman, Gustav Klimt, Henri Matisse, Allan Peters, Tom Lane, Tim Fowler, Faithless, Underworld, Sia, Moby, Tinlicker, Tia Maria, chai tea, halftone patterns, step and repeat, blending modes, 80% black, and the smell of fresh ink on uncoated stock have helped shape and inspire my journey - I’ve enjoyed every bit so far and I hope there are many more years to look forward to.
