When we came across Made By Diwani’s creations on Instagram, we couldn’t help but notice the effort and care she puts into all of her work. We believe talent around the world should be acknowledged. Read below to find out more on Made By Diwani.

From a young age I’ve always liked making things, from birthday cards, drawings of my family to scrapbooks, and everything that I could possibly make one for. My dad is a wedding videographer so I have always been interested in the wedding industry and what he does. At the age of 10/11 he taught me how to use photoshop so you could imagine what my scrapbooks started to look like! I quickly began to realise that I had gained some creative genes from my father, so I academically took more interest in art and design related subjects. This lead to me doing a degree in Graphic Design: New Media.

I currently work full time as a graphic designer for professional women’s golf organization called Ladies European Tour. Although I like my job and designing the things that I do, I found that I was not completely using my creativity how I would like. So I tried different things such as making cakes, taking photographs, making saree blouses & clothes – but nothing was giving me the fulfilment I was after. A couple years ago both of my sisters got married and this is where I realised that I wanted to design things for weddings. I started off by making all the stationery for their weddings and that led on to making things for a friends wedding. That’s when I realized that this is what I want to do.

So with the support and backing from my partner and my family – I started “Made By Diwani” where I could finally express my passion for making beautiful things. It’s been over a year and I have learnt a lot and I’m looking forward to adding my touch to my clients special days.
