I began making jewellery with seaglass and shells in 2019 out of a passion for beachcombing. Initially I made them for family and friends and then through an Etsy shop. I wanted more control over my own business so early in 2021 I created an online space for my business Nauti by Nature. It is a blog and e-commerce platform which fits my business model for the future which includes travelling around the world in my sailboat and creating products along the way. I currently work part time as a Social Care Professional which I have for many years, but in 2023 I plan to leave this employment to travel around the world in my sailboat with my husband. Nauti by Nature will be my sole income for these travels and I am working hard to build the business and create a sustainable mobile income.
