WELCOME TO SEASON 3 | EPISODE 38

MEET IVY HUANG

SHE’S IN OUR BUILDHER BOOK!

WELL HELLO THERE MISS IVY!

In this episode, Rebeka chats with Ivy Huang (she’s one of our DevelopHers!) about the developing project she has completed, her experience working with BuildHer, the new project she has just commenced, and participating in the BuildHer8 collaboration project – fun!

IN THIS PODCAST WE ARE TALKING IVY HUANG FROM “HOMES BY IVY”

Ivy has previously spoken to Rebeka last year about dealing with difficult people and hostile energies on the worksite. Through hard work and finding the right people, she is now experiencing a completely different vibe in her current project.

Ivy’s amazing strategising skills helped her to showcase her project in different publications and blogs, including on the cover of Domain Magazine! She discusses her love of creating sustainable homes that will stand for over a century by utilising materials with a low carbon footprint, low VOC, are beautiful AND comfortable.

Ivy shares advice on learning to spend your life creating something meaningful to you and following your passion.

Money isn’t everything, and finding something you are truly proud of creating is the most important thing.

LET US KNOW WHAT YOU THINK & WHAT ELSE YOU’D LIKE TO LISTEN TO!

We love our Ivy – she’s growing everywhere in our community and we loved her project so much that yes, she is also included in our new book “BuildHer” (there’s a sneaky link below if you’d like to get your hands on it)! xx
