Proudest work achievement?
“Starting up a few projects in my spare time that help the planet. I started Plate Share with a couple of other parents which helps to reduce single-use plastic waste when throwing parties. People can borrow reusable plates, cutlery and drinkware in their neighbourhood from local Plate Share hosts for free.
And also starting Frida + Phoenix, an online, preloved children’s clothing shop aimed at keeping clothes out of the landfill while keeping your kids cute.”
Favourite way to relax or recharge?
“Drinking red wine and playing Dutch Blitz with my friends. It’s a card game and I’m terrible at it but I’m determined to win one day.”
