What do you love about being a woman in your specific industry?
I love being a woman in my industry because I have been afforded the opportunities to be involved in wonderful projects where I’m trusted to live out my creative work. I feel our country has grown and accepted women in previously male-dominated spaces and, as a result, we can achieve anything we set our minds to.
What are some highlights you have experienced so far in your career?
I have had my business for 24 years and every year we do more exciting and complicated projects that make the future look bright. We have been invited to work abroad by local companies that have expanded to London, France, Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia. We try to use all our leftover products in some of our artwork to recycle as much as possible. Every year we grow together as a team and provide for our families through a job we love!
How do you celebrate yourself?
By accepting myself.
A woman to me is…
Someone who exudes self-acceptance and shows empathy.
