Previous Life: dressmaker, textile artist and married

The elevator pitch…our jewellery is made from reclaimed biscuit, sweet & cake tins.

Your light-bulb moment was...
a day’s workshop with artist Lucy Casson, I made an angel out of a golden syrup tin, the rest is history.

Heroes and Villains?
Joy Butler is my heroine, my creative business mentor. She keeps me on track when I can’t see the woods for the trees. No villains, just bridges that have to be crossed to move on.

Pass on your best bit of advice…find something you love to do and you will find the energy and determination to succeed.

Kids, work, life…working around the kids is great, having a computer at home helps. Every day is a juggling act. Having a loving family close-by is a huge bonus.

What is the secret to your success? Quiet determination to fulfil my potential in this lifetime.

Hedge fund, cash in the attic or the kid's piggy bank? Didn’t take any wages for a long time!

If you had your time again you would… keep it simple & focus on one thing, I have experienced a huge learning curve and come back to my jewellery.

Wealth or comfort…the objective for me is not to get wealthy, but to really be the best that I can be and create a business that supports the wonderful people who support me.

You'd like to thank... my yoga teacher for teaching me to listen to my inner voice.

For my next trick… be better at everything I do.

MumsRock

MumsRock was born out of the frustration of ex-TV Producer Gigi Eligoloff. After the arrival of her son, she quickly realised that, aside from being labelled as 'just a mum', she’d joined a band of women who were working, thinking, and dreaming harder than anyone else on the planet. Not one to sit around and wonder what if...? Gigi got a gang of like-minded folk together to realise her dream. And here it is, a sacred (online) place to Shop it, Say it and Work it
