Upon stepping into Celeste's home studio, I was greeted by an ambience of lightness and brightness—a true reflection of her character. I've always been drawn to airy, well-lit spaces, and immediately felt a sense of comfort and familiarity. Celeste's studio was adorned with collections from her travels abroad, intermingled with her own creative designs, infusing the space with warmth and personality. While Celeste's talents span various creative domains—illustration, jewellery making, and design—I find the term "designer" aptly encapsulates her versatile skill set. Like many others, Celeste made her cherished holiday destination her permanent home, adding yet another layer of creative vibrancy to our eclectic community.
In front of the camera, Celeste exuded a bright and bubbly energy, making her a delight to capture. Beyond the surface, our conversation delved into deeper realms—the essence of friendship, the ache of heartbreak, and the nuances of life itself. Celeste's personal motto, "Live by the sea, swear by the moon, love by the stars, care for the earth," resonated deeply with her ethos and spirit. I found it profoundly inspiring when a person's essence harmonizes seamlessly with their beliefs, mannerisms, and attire—a lesson beautifully embodied by Celeste.
