It's been one hell of a year right? Phew! Sometimes I don't know if I'm coming or going! But in amongst the craziness, there have also been some great achievements and things to take pride in. So am I still creating? Short answer yes! I've worked in the industry for a little over 5 years now, part of a large design team where I focus predominately on corporate and health care services. It's a great job! I love it! But in terms of creating for DEMKO, no. I've unashamedly taken a back seat. As you may know, I hand create all my pieces. None of what you see has been mass produced or come out of a factory. So during the first Melbourne lock down, my partner and I decided to pursue other passions by creating a small crystals and minerals business which has given us plenty to keep busy! We have a website and sales are good... we're happy and grateful! This little venture has helped us put some funds towards our dream wedding which we are trying to stay positive will still go ahead early next year (covid dependent, the safety of our family and friends will always come first!) At times I've looked at this page and felt saddened like I "let the ball slip." But honestly, in order to succeed at everything I realised success was not possible through burnout so DEMKO has taken a back seat. It doesn't mean DEMKO is no longer trading, I trust the timing of my life to know that when the time is right I'll be able to create under my brand again. I thank you all for being part of my journey, for believing in me and supporting my passions - I am a woman of many hats! I do have ideas and projects waiting to recommence so when I get back to it I look forward to picking up where I left off. Xo
