It’s #marchmeetthemaker and I’m a day late but going to catch up and hopefully join in for the month (Warning! This is gonna be long!) I’m Sarah 🌿 After spending most my teens/early twenties staring out my bedroom window in my small hometown Carlisle, wondering what my passion was, and if I’d ever find it or my purpose. I took off on a working hol visa and packed a backpack to Oz at 21. Best thing I ever did! This opened my eyes a lot and showed me that I have to just go for what I want in life and not make excuses I was always into fashion but thought it as a hobby never a career. However, after that leap I took to travel it gave me everything I needed to change my small minded thoughts. I came back home, moved down south and studied fashion. I ended up making a beaded bracelet on a homemade bead loom for my final major project. And that was the very beginning I then went on to teach myself basic beading and wiring skills then put together my first ever small jewellery collection I contacted one of my favourite jewellery designers in LA and she invited me for a job trail. After designing a couple of bits for her new collection she did offer me a job. As much as I wanted more than anything at the time to move to LA, I didn’t want it more than no one seeing it was me behind those designs. I’d finally found my passion and the thing I do that makes my heart excited. I thought to myself “I have to do this on my own” And that’s what I did I had no business experience, knew nothing about branding, marketing, web building really. But I launched a business and a website in 2014! Everything I have done to this day I have learnt myself along the way NF is now 8 years old! And I’m still a one women band. I design and make the jewellery, style the photoshoots, take the product shots, pack your orders, build the brand and the website and much more I’m still learning and developing constantly To those that have followed me from the start, thank you and I appreciate you. And to new comers, welcome to the tribe 🪶 (at Clapton, Hackney, London , UK) https://www.instagram.com/p/Camuer_tNci/?utm_medium=tumblr
