In March 2015, on a cold night in London, I realised that I don't want to stay in UK anymore. I have a friend who invited me to help his business in Africa and on that famous and windy night I decided to leave. I wanted to refresh my life and forget my daily routine. Only 3 weeks later I was living in Tanzania. I am nature lover, I can spend days and hours just being alone in a forest, mountains, I am happier there than anywhere else. But I hate when I find rubbish left behind, I am so so disappointed that people throw tires in wild nature. So one day, when I was walking on the local Maasai market I found...
After few month of rethinking, resetting my life now I am back to upcycle tyres and create fashion accessories. It's such a nice feeling to receive so many messages, comments on my social media platforms from people who love my journey and crafts. I've started a quite unique job which sometimes is really hard but somehow I love with its craziness.

There is a growing tire waste problem, there are 3 billion scrap tires generated every year. We need to share this problem to create an awareness and find a solution. It is the time to highlight solutions and start to change for the future! We have caused these problems and must find the solution. Would you be...
I have been so busy recently designing and creating these beautiful pieces that blogging has not been at the top of my to do list. I want to keep sharing my progress, so many parts of my work and personal life are changing and developing, and I think I would be interesting to see.
Hey everyone!! I am so excited to announce that I have been working on my first ever commercial video for Laura Zabo. I was lucky enough to discover a beautiful woodland nature reserve in Enfield which was the perfect location for the video. There were so many beautiful trees and lakes. I showcased some of my products, including the Laser Bicycle Tyre Belt, Spikey Inner Tube Earrings and the new DIY Vegan Car Tyre Sandals with interchangeable straps from my sustainable vegan line which looked perfect on the models, Miles De Chambis and Joanna Finata. The main focus of this commercial video was to get the point across that up-cycled fashion can be sexy, classy and look good on any...
