I’ve always found art to be one of my favourite ways to express myself. After living in Japan, I began hosting sushi-making and character bento workshops, introducing others to the creativity and joy of Japanese food art. Along the way, I started making origami to add a more professional and authentic touch to my content. What began as a small creative experiment soon became one of my greatest passions!My approach to teaching is shaped by my background in psychology, my postgraduate Master’s studies, and my work as an ADHD coach. I’m fascinated by the endless possibilities of origami and how a simple piece of paper can be transformed into something truly beautiful. I love that paper art can also be a mindful, calming activity, encouraging us to slow down, immerse ourselves in the moment, and experience the joy of learning something new.More recently, I’ve fallen in love with creating beautiful crepe paper flowers, and I’m excited to explore even more possibilities with this versatile medium.One of the things I appreciate most about paper art is experimenting with new ideas, themes, colours, and techniques. I’m always looking for ways to transform a simple craft into something special and memorable, whether it’s a seasonal creation, a personalised project, or a workshop designed around a particular celebration.I love bringing creativity to all kinds of occasions, from hen parties and weddings to baby showers, birthdays, private gatherings, and corporate team-building events. There’s something particularly lovely about sharing a creative experience with friends, family, or colleagues and having something beautiful to take home at the end.Having worked across both corporate and private settings, I’ve had the pleasure of delivering creative experiences for organisations including Liberty London, Spotify, TOTO EU, King’s College London, and Hyper Japan. I’ve also hosted children’s parties and am DBS checked.For me, the best part of teaching is seeing people discover their own creativity, often surprising themselves with what they can achieve. Whether we’re folding paper, creating flowers, or exploring a new theme together, I want every workshop to feel welcoming, enjoyable, and inspiring. It’s a chance to connect, unwind, experiment, and create something wonderful.
