What do you mean, girls don't play video games?
It all started back in 2002 when I became "hooked" (i.e obsessed) with a certain survival horror video game (no prizes for guessing). I had to own every piece of merchandise that I could get my hands on. When I had everything I could afford I became more creative (luckily had always been the creative type since a small girl) and began to make my own. From jewellery and accessories to clothing and home decor.
After a while I began to showcase my creations on a site called DeviantArt and it wasn't long before numerous members had me dabbling in art trades with them. My home made merchandise became very popular across the site and beyond and I quickly realised that I had set the foundations for a potential business.
I worked hard, made numerous mistakes along the way but the main point was that I absolutely LOVED what I was doing. It makes so much difference getting up in the morning to do something you adore. I managed to secure a place on a government scheme in January 2012 and was awarded a business mentor and a healthy grant. After 6 months I was secure enough to go it alone and I've never looked back since.
THE REST IS HISTORY...
I still like to play video games and I still only play Resident Evil. A few years ago I released my "Zombie Plan" Charm Bracelet which was the first of it's kind on this website and I was never really prepared for how popular it would become. Unfortunately it's been copied many times over but I'm still very proud to have made the original and it remains my best seller to this day. My aim is to continue bringing out new designs that I know my customers will love.
I've also started to broaden my horizons after becoming hooked on conventions. Realising that I needed more than just the "undead" on my side I decided to add a little bit of everything! And I do mean EVERYTHING!! This shop is now an extremely eclectic mix of everything quirky and geeky.
I am a MASSIVE anime fan (to the point of obsession) so you'll find a lot of my creations inspired by my favourite anime and anime characters.
I feel very blessed, I have an incredible circle of family and friends who are extremely supportive and the BEST customers in the whole world!
