Play guitar, create resin art, create interior design and decorations

I enjoy playing guitar in my spare time.  I relax by creating resin art artifact and decorative pieces.  I have a keen eye on interior design and enjoy creating  designs and decorations that could be used in weddings.  I find taking long walks relaxing and helps me unwind.

Additional Information

I have been a wedding planner for nearly 30 years and enjoy my profession enormously. I have built my wedding planner business catering for primarily Asian and Middle-eastern weddings, including culturally mixed couples delivering weddings where both bride and Groom have had their traditions and customs incorporated into the wedding proceedings. I wish to expand my skill sets and experiences by working with a company that is involved in providing wedding services to other cultural groups.
