On a personal note, I wanted to share an update about an exciting new chapter for our family. We’ve embarked on a life and work adventure, and we are currently based in the beautiful Maltese Islands. It’s an opportunity to explore new horizons in Europe, give my partner a well-earned change from his job, and allow our family to experience a different culture - before our triplet boys grow up and don't want to hang out with us anymore!

This year marks our sons’ final year of primary school (how did that happen so fast?), and it’s given me pause. If I were my mother, this would have unexpectedly been the last year of my life. That thought made us ask—how do we want to live this year? The answer led us here.

Meanwhile, our incredible teams in New Zealand and the US continue to work hard, ensuring seamless service for our clients. And from my new base in Malta, I’m perfectly positioned to connect more closely with our North American and European clients and distributors.

If you find yourself in this part of the world, don’t be a stranger — I’d love to catch up!

Creatively, this journey has already been incredibly inspiring. The rocky landscapes of Malta are a striking contrast to the lush greenery of home, and I can’t wait to share new designs influenced by this fresh perspective.
