From DIY Dreams to TV Reality: A Chat with Jessica from The DIY Studio

In this special episode, we're joined by the multi-talented Jessica from The DIY Studio, a creative entrepreneur and, as many of you know, a judge on the popular kykNET show, Klein Paradys. Jessica’s journey is a true testament to turning a passion into a thriving side hustle.

Join us as we explore:

• The origin story of The DIY Studio, from its humble beginnings to a go-to destination for crafting and creativity.
• The art of transforming spaces through DIY, and how Jessica empowers everyone, from beginners to seasoned crafters, to create their own beautiful projects.
• A behind-the-scenes look at Klein Paradys. We discuss the transition from running her own studio to judging others, and what it’s like to critique designs under the pressure of a reality TV show.
• The challenges and triumphs of a creative entrepreneur, including how to navigate family life while building a brand, deal with rejection, and find new business.
• The biggest lessons Jessica has learned about personal growth and resilience throughout her unique journey.

A special shoutout to kykNET for creating a show that celebrates South African creativity and design and for bringing Jessica’s expertise to our screens!
