"My passion from a very early age has been interiors, From dressing friends bedrooms to redesigning an old shack I found in the woods as a child whilst out riding my pony called Glenn (don't ask!)!

I waitressed, worked on a farm and worked at a riding stables until I got the break into a graphics studio (quite extreme differences). A couple of years later, I managed to help in the photographic department and became a trainee stylist. Finally I got thrown in at the deep end designing room sets and styling shoots.

I bought my first house at 19, had to work weekends and evening to pay the mortgage. My holidays consisted of Strawberry picking on the farm for extra cash. I've never been frightened of hard work. I briefly trained in Interior design before my Son was born. I have two beautiful children (young adults), Jake and Molly who are my world!

I worked my way up the ranks to become Head of styling, working with a wonderful team. We travelled abroad on shoots, worked in the most beautiful homes around the country whilst creating beautiful shots for photography! I learnt so much in those years, hard work, very long days, stressful experiences but I loved it. After 31 years I decided to make a break for it, have some time out and pursue the dream of having my own Interior shop.

I'd loved the sourcing of props so much during my styling career that I realised this is what I wanted to do. To create my own 'Happy Place' and Creative styled environment to show others what can be achieved by simply dressing things beautifully.

The rest is history. Two years later and No64 Biscuit House is growing stronger and I'm still learning, creating but loving every minute of it!"
