When everyone was prompting ChatGPT last year to ‘Show a picture of my life based on what you know about me’, I felt conflicted! One part jealous, because I couldn’t participate in the trendy fun thing. Another part panicked because I felt left behind in two ways… Aand then I see memes like this (I mean, a newspaper clip gone digi-meme-viral, so that still happens!), and everything seems right with the world again.
Haven’t updated your resume in years because you work for yourself? You are not alone.

It’s the end of a beautiful, creative chapter as my business partner and I have sold our little business, Otherness Events. Back in 2017, we started with a whimsical dream to bring event spaces to life with quirky cuddle puddles and low lounges - events the way we liked them! Our mission was to create cosy spaces that bring all the elements of a good event together in the ultimate sweet spot - just add cushions. Those first few years were so much fun, they didn’t even feel like work.
