“What I really like about what I’m doing now is having the ability to design and make something from nothing – it’s incredible – but I often forget about how valuable that is until the project is complete.
It only seems to fully sink in after you can stand back and take that breath after every task has been completed. The great sense of accomplishing things in my work is what I enjoy most about my job,” Kate Elstone
