Our small (and perfectly formed!) team is growing by the day… I’m delighted to introduce you to the newest member of the Do What You Love family, Rose Radtke. Rose joins us in the role of Marketing Officer/Community Manager where she’ll take on the happy challenge of growing and nurturing our buzzing community. Rose is an avid believer in choosing a lifestyle that enables you to do more of what you love. She left the office behind to explore her own passions and she’s now excited about helping you to find yours. We’re thrilled that she has chosen to join us and we can’t wait to see her blossom in her new role. ~ MR K
Two years ago Rose went on a quest to find a new hobby. After flailing her way through several Zumba, Nia, yoga and aerial circus skills classes, she decided to dust off an old sewing machine. After a few YouTube tutorials she was hooked, and now loves making her own clothes and home accessories. She is passionate about the look, feel and smell of beautiful fabrics, and has become an advocate for ethical fashion. This year she has decided to reject fast fashion altogether; you can read more about her journey on her blog.
Rose describes herself as optimistic, curious and colourful and when she’s not sewing, she can be found snooping around flea markets, scrawling in notebooks and relaxing with her family and friends in the country, or by the sea.
She says: “For me, being curious and creative and having space to be me are the key ingredients to happiness. When I was growing up, my parents always encouraged me to be myself and do whatever made me happy. I’ve carried that with me; each day I’m true to myself and others, and I’m always exploring new opportunities. Brighton is my home and always has been. I love to travel and experience different cultures, but I’m always delighted to come home to my family, my friends and my quirky little city sandwiched between the sea and the countryside.”
