Vanda's Story
Hi, I’m Vanda, the second half of the Make It duo!
I have always loved making and have experimented with all kinds of crafts over the years, from marbling to macramé. Creative pursuits had to take a back seat for a long time, while I was completing a PhD and then working as a housing researcher.
In recent years, I have returned to my crafty roots, first doing arts & crafts with my kids and, later, as a leader with Irish Girl Guides, with a group of seriously arty 5-7 years olds! It has been brilliant turning my hobbies into a career with Make It!
