Something you're proud of? My Chameleon, I left my Finance job and started it in my parents house 10 years ago. The fundamentals and philosophy that it was built on is still what we hold true today.
I feel most creatively fulfilled when… I’m with my team.
I'm currently working on… Aside from the obvious, my business, I’m also working on growing some veggies in our newly built garden patch (it’s small).
This time last year, I wish I knew… There is nothing I wish I knew, there is a natural progression in life and I’m very accepting of that, I thrive on change so the less I know the better.
I'm grateful for… living in Australia especially at this time, my parents choose to come here 45 years ago and I’m glad they did. Yes we are far from the rest of the world, but we are also safe and resilient.
