About me

Hello-I'm Amelia, dedicated Artist and Entrepreneur. My career combines work as both a professional ceramic artist and a professional content editor. I work freelance for a variety of international projects. In 2017 I started FrikiFish, an online magazine to share stories of creativity and craftsmanship and support my local creative community.
