Building a business from the ground up with zero experience and growing it into a multimillion-dollar brand that is trusted and beloved, both locally and across the globe.Together with my husband Danny, we have grown a multi-million dollar furniture and homewares business designing and importing our own product ranges that we sell through retail (Few and Far) and wholesale (Indigo Love) channels throughout Australia and Internationally.
