I'm also dedicated to supporting independent makers who create well-crafted products with a responsibility for people & the planet
Through @Kickstarter I self-published @DesignGiving magazine, sold in 15 countries & was featured in @hiutdenim's #DoOneThingWell

We all experience anxiety now and again, whether itโs few & far between or battling it everyday
Iโd love to find out more... whether or not you think being creative helps to eliminate/minimise #anxiety symptoms?
Would love to hear what you think?
