I’ve always felt drawn to herbs and plants. As a , we used to forage medicinal herbs for the pharmacy. I drank herbal tisanes my mum made for colds and coughs, and enjoyed the hearty vegetable soup my granny cooked whenever I felt poorly — it always gave me strength. As I got older, I became interested in the healing power of aromatherapy and started using herbs more in the kitchen. This year, I’ve gone deeper into foraging and also rekindled my love for jewellery design. Plants and nature have been such a big inspiration for both my illustrations and jewellery — they always spark something in me.
