My life journey began in my birth town Bloemfontein, South Africa (directly translated, flower fountain), my childhood was filled with escapades of pure sunshine on a charming smallholding. We relocated to Cape Town when I was 8 years old and the beautiful city became my home.

After school, I dabbled in Photography and Desktop Publishing, waltzing my way to a Creative Brand/Visual Communications degree with a dash of Art Direction flair.

In the corporate jungle, I've swung from being a Conceptual Artist and Marketing Assistant in the EduTech realm to teaching English in Thailand. I even got my hands in the printing and branding cookie jar, mastering design, office wizardry, and all things business.

Then 2015 whispered, "Go solo!" I embarked my career as an independent Graphic Designer and Entrepreneur of a business called Golden Tech, aiding the tech-challenged in their golden years. 

Fast forward to 2017, my partner, Ohana our cat, and I crossed continents to settle in the Netherlands, a haven of inspiration. Here, amidst tulips and windmills, my creative spirit found new life, gifting me the enchanting world of Ingrini. 🌷✨

It all starts by venturing out and sourcing flowers from the most amazing little shops or nurseries, but nothing comes close to finding the perfect flower growing in a natural setting, even if it is my own garden.

Onto the behind-the-scenes magic.

Petals are gently coaxed away and then embark on a week-long spa retreat—pressed until they're perfectly dried. 🌺✨

The grand unveiling is a moment of pure joy! With a petal palette in hand, the design adventure begins. Inspiration swirls from colors, landscapes, and snippets of my world. Sometimes it's a planned masterpiece, and other times, the muse strikes in a spontaneous dance of creativity.

But the journey doesn't end there!

A piece's grand debut involves a meticulous photoshoot, weaving its tale on the Ingrini shop stage and dazzling on Instagram and Facebook. Because every creation deserves its moment in the spotlight 😊
