My Humble beginnings of my beading life.
I always love beading from my childhood days, i remember when i used to buy beaded necklace and re-making them to my own unique style. Growing up in Africa in the 1990s, I had the privilege of a private education and further education in London. I studied Information Technology but also trained as a graphic designer. Business is another passion i grow up with, from selling at my mums cosmetic and fashion Boutique, i developed an interest in selling and serving customers. I went to Gambia to set up a Tiling Business in 2007, but It never work.Now i know i was not there for that reason.
After a Shift of Consciousness, my prayer beads become my jewellery.
I start making prayer beads with natural ebony beads which I use for meditating, praying and also wear them as a necklace.

When I was due to come back to UK and I wasn't having much money to be buying gifts for family, but what I did have was some jewellery made up already which i give as gifts to family and friends.
Everyone love their gift especially when they knew I made them all myself with my hand.
I start having some customers bringing there old jewellery for repair, to add pendants,charms and so on some ordering bespoke jewellery and rosary beads.
