“  I was feeling uncertain of my next steps. So, I was in a bit of a difficult place of not knowing what would come next and wanting to create. And so for me, that Paris planning process and looking at that Paris plan when I sat at my desk every day was really important. But coming into Christmas. 

I knew I was, leaving the school of renovating and I had a job interview coming up.  And so I thought, okay, I really want this. I'm going to create. what happens next.  And  the way I wanted to do that was to visually transform my Paris plan, my power plan into a vision board.

And It was remarkable what happened. The power of visuals for me. So off I went and I created it."
