Surprisingly I have been quite busy, from assisting with my parents’ horticulture project to my work in advertising and PR projects.

Unfortunately there’s been no action on the fashion side because of the lockdown but all is not lost.

Q. What is the one hobby you picked up during lockdown?

(Laughing sheepishly) I haven’t really picked on anything hey!

Q. What new projects can we expect from you?

I am hoping once the world is stable and everything goes back to normal that I can launch my winter collection and later in the year my summer range as well.

Then reflect on all I have to do that day.
