What inspires you to keep making things?
"I am inspired to keep making things because the sense of accomplishment feels so good. Making things with your hands is good for mental health."
What one piece of advice would you give to other makers?
"If something doesn’t turn out quite how you wanted don’t be afraid to try again. Crafting is so much of a trial and error process so don’t give up!"
