In 2019 I left my much loved apprenticeship (miss you guys, but not the weather).
I moved to Newcastle, NSW where I started Upholstrei - a furniture upholstery and restoration business. It’s been a hellovalotta fun using my skills to divert furniture from landfill and work on projects that excite me. I‘ve had the pleasure of giving furniture a new life to be enjoyed in homes and spaces between Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle and the Hunter Valley. By all accounts, my customers seem to like it too. Google reviews here.
Now in 2022 I’ve launched Culture Cush. A brand that handcrafts vintage-inspired furniture - my second dream way back in 2017. I was highly ambitious six years ago wanting to use recycled timber and materials, one day I’m sure I’ll get there. For now, I’m focused on using tough materials with a low-tox status cos’, if you haven’t cottoned on by now, I don’t like nasties or things that break.
