Presentation topic:
How I got started and made a creative career last!
My talk will be about how I got started in my career from the early days as a creative child to studying goldsmithing at college. I will share the journey of building my personal brand PASH Jewellery Design along with my studio Jewel Envy. The journeys run parallel to each other with each taking the lead at different times of important creative and business growth. The last part of the talk will focus on the 20 year anniversary of my store Jewel Envy which I will be celebrating this fall and what this means to me as an artist and entrepreneur.
