About

Hello! I’m Rebecca, founder of Rebecca Angela. For a number of years I ran a creative business initially called Blue Radish and later Rebecca Angela. My career has now moved in a different direction. I am now a registered mental health counsellor. However, for now I am leaving my blog up as an archive as I know there is content that people are still finding useful. If you have found your way here for one of my articles or tutorials, welcome!

I’ve been creating all my life – from music to drawing, to sewing, to painting and printing. As parent with young children, art and craft became my sanity saver. I started creating things to sell which grew into my label, Blue Radish and evolved into Rebecca Angela.

I ‘officially’ ran my creative business from 2015 to 2022. My little kids have grown into three awesome adults now who tower over me – and amaze me every day.

With a background in psychology, teaching and community services work, I also love helping people which led to writing pieces that I hoped would be helpful, here and elsewhere. Now, however, I am now a registered counsellor!

Over the years, however, I have written a number of blog posts to help other people be creative. On the blog, you might find tutorials to make something fun and functional or musings on how to bring more creativity into the world. I like to think of myself as a creativity enabler!

In recent years, sustainability has become a huge interest of mine. I also wrote a blog about it over at the Family Footprint Project. In my “spare” time, I enjoy gardening, reading and getting out in nature. And I love to learn. I have an insatiable curiosity and a drive for mastery so if I’m faced with a problem or something I need to do, I’m a bit like a terrier until I work it out.
