As I sit on a noisy train, traveling from London Waterloo to Exeter St Davids to visit my little sister, I can't help but reflect on the whirlwind of emotions that I've left behind in London.

The Journey Continues

This week has been particularly challenging as I navigate the world of design and entrepreneurship. I recently launched my new side hustle on social media (check it out here) and have been met with a mix of excitement and self-doubt.

Seeking Your Insights
