Hey, my names Gay…

Over the past 20 years, I’ve built small clothing brands, run a thriving sewing studio, risen as one of Depop’s top vintage sellers, and developed a repair service rooted in care and visible mending—wearing our badges of honour with pride.

In early 2024, I made a bold decision: I closed my studio.

Not because I was done—but because I knew I needed to do things differently. My studio was booked out. My calendar was full. From the outside, it looked like success. But behind the scenes, I was burned out, stretched too thin, and losing touch with why I started.

I wanted slower.
I wanted deeper.
I wanted a business that felt more like me—not just what the industry expects.

So I moved my work back home (yep—back bedroom HQ, Nottingham-based) and began rebuilding services that reflect my values: purpose, guiding, creativity, and care.

That shift opened a new door.

Now, I help other repair artists work with care and confidence not hustle culture. My work focuses on pricing with confidence, visibility that doesn’t feel cringe, and building a business that actually feels good to run.

Whether you're just starting out or shifting gears, I’m here to help you build a business that reflects you—not just your sewing, but your values, your time, and your energy.
