This week I caught up with Jessi Deakin the creator behind Dreamcatcher Designs. A fellow recent graduate from the International School of Colour and Design (ISCD), not only is she a macrame master but a talent Interior Stylist as well.

This week I have the huge honour of showcasing home decor brand Arlo & Co. Based in Melbourne, this family run business is the fore runner of childrens and lifestyle decor gifts. I might be a bit bias as I am a Brand Rep for them, but with nearly 50, 000 Instagram followers and growing every day, it appears I'm not the only one smitten with this company.

This week I took time to speak to Jenna Little, the Creative Director behind the textile brand Jlee. I met Jenna via Instagram a few months ago when I became one of her Brand Reps. I was immediately attracted to her savvy business skills, friendly nature and naturally, her amazing screen printed cushions. Jenna hand makes all her wares from her studio just outside of Bendigo, Victoria. With a keen idea for design and vibrant patterns and colours, Jlee is really making its mar

So it was a little over 2 years when I first met Jill Corbett from Sari Jane Home Accents www.sarijane.com.au. We had both travelled down from Queensland to Sydney to attend our first Workshop at ISCD. At the time we were both studying the Certificate IV in Colour and Design and were keen to learn more. We had never met prior to this and have not met in person again since this time. However, in the world of social media, Jill and I have foraged our careers side by side and w
