First & Last was an idea that was bubbling away for quite a long time.  I have worked in high street retail, independent galleries, as a buyer for museum shops, all of which has given me the opportunity to meet and work with amazing makers, artists, designers and brands. When I left the commute to London in 2019, I wrote a list of the people I would like to work with if the opportunity arose, and the makers on that list has only been added to.  It has been a very special experience to be able to bring together a curated collection of the people you have admired and just think they are brilliant. I moved to Worthing a couple of years ago with the desire to be part of a local creative community .
