My
name is Birgitta Visser, and I'm originally Dutch with
a blend of Indonesian, Indian, Belgian, German and French.
I've always
been a very energetic and diverse person having visited
and lived in a variety of different places such as Istanbul,
Cape Town, Nuremberg, Munich, London, New York, Miami,
Thailand, Buckingham, which is not in London, but a
small town in Buckinghamshire, Curacao - one of the
ABC islands, India, being in an ashram, back to Holland
for 2 years before returning to the UK, which is where
I am at present.
At the age
of 19, I left to pursue a modeling career, but frankly
got nowhere as my skin wasn’t thick enough. I
followed a secretarial course and continued to travel
and absorb new cultures over the next 15 years. In
an effort to find my way in life, I made my living doing
various jobs (bartending, promotional work, admin) wherever
I went.
I've
always been very creative, whether it's been with painting
or writing. I continue to follow numerous jewellery
workshops, opening myself up to new and innovative designs
and techniques. The inspiration for choosing to
form my own business was due to the many positive responses
to my designs and requests I received on my jewellery
pieces.
How do I define my style?
I would describe it as going back to basics, it’s
unique, earthy, classy, versatile, elegant and casual.
Besides designing jewellery I am also
on to my level 2 Reiki course ('healing energy' through
the palms) which I hope to complete sometime early next
year, and will enable me to practise and help others.
Birgit
