I started my apprenticeship in cabinet making but moved over to upholstery in 2000. I was in love with the trade and went to work as an apprentice for Woodward’s Upholstery in Canberra. It was a 4 year apprenticeship but being an over achiever I completed it in 3!
During the apprenticeship I soaked up every bit of knowledge around me and worked closely with a motor trimmer and seamstress who taught me different methods and skills that I still use today.
In 2006, I packed up the car and Benson (who was my 10 year old rescued Golden retriever and Rotti cross) to follow my dream of living in Melbourne. So here I am with Anoushka, my chosen profession and all the enthusiasm in the world to run a successful upholstery & restoration business while continuing to enjoy life.
