About

My name is Lara. In 2013, by the age of just gone 30 (and having never been fired), I’d been a project engineer, English teacher, accountant, building services engineer, technology analyst, and sustainability consultant. I’d worked in a deodorant factory for one of the largest producers of consumer goods in the world, at one of the Big 4 Accountancy firms, at the largest technology consulting and outsourcing firm in the world, two of the biggest engineering consultancy firms in the world, the largest corporate real estate firm in the world, and, for one ignomious year, a tiny environmental consultancy firm in Croydon.

After this rather eclectic work experience, none of which I found particularly fulfilling, and what with suffering from RSI, I decided I needed to escape from the corporate rat race, regain the full use of my arms, and embrace my creative side… quite possibly permanently.
