I’m Micaela, a creative entrepreneur living in London and I like to make things happen.
I’ve got a degree in development studies, a background in innovation consulting and far too many ideas of things I want to do in this lifetime.
I’m passionate about creating kind businesses that enrich lives.
Travel thrills me, soft cheese sustains me and I'm obsessed with sewing my own clothes.
Listen to my podcast where I share the ups, the downs and the messy in-betweens of running my business, starting new ones and figuring it all out as I go.
It’s all my experiences, my thoughts & my advice, shared with you - via airmail.
