My Story
How it all started
I’m a pharmacist working a busy 9-to-5 — and like so many people, I know what burnout feels like. The kind of exhaustion that a weekend can’t fix. I found myself craving something different. Something creative, social and meaningful — not just another dinner or night out.
That feeling came to life at a Taylor Swift concert, stringing friendship bracelets with my best friends and swapping them with strangers in the queue. The joy of making something together, surrounded by people simply wanting to have a wonderful time, stayed with me long after the concert ended.
I started imagining a space in London where that feeling could live all year round — warm, welcoming and creative. A place where you walk in feeling frazzled and leave wearing something beautiful you made yourself.
That idea became Petals & Pearls.
