When I learnt what Buildher Collective was all about and that what Rebeka & Kribashini do is “help women build”, I knew straight away that I needed to be a part of it in some way. It ticked all of the boxes – my love for renovating, my love for learning, my love for interiors and my love for helping others, so I was pretty much hooked.

I bought my lastest renovation project during one of our Masterclass days via my husband doing the bidding and myself and the ladies watching… It was super exciting – there was stress, yelling, tears and lots of hugs when I found out we got it! Rebeka & Kribashini have been so supportive, super helpful and are always happy to make time to provide guidance and support and I’m super excited to continue to work with them.

At the beginning of last year I never would have thought that the last Masterclass session of 2018 would be held at my newly finished home – a home that my family and I absolutely LOVE! What a journey it has been for me and the support of BuildHer Collective – well that’s just gold! With an attitude of “let’s find a solution”, no problem is too big or too small and they’ve been there all the way with the right advice.

“I’ve learned so much from the Master BuildHer experience and I love it so much I don’t want it to end… I’m super excited to be a part of the “Working Days” this year. The support I get from not only BuildHer Collective but my other fellow Master BuildHers is truly amazing!”
