I met Helen just as I was setting up my business (I remember telling her ‘I do really big knitting ‘) she started working with me part time from around Christmas 2015… thankfully she’s never left. She’s the voice of reason – the one I turn to and say ‘please make the decision for me’…. she’s also the voice you’ll hear from outside the studio as she’s often bursting with laughter or song at full volume. You can count on Helen as a shoulder to cry on, a friend to rant to and a colleague to turn to if you need an extra pair of hands.

What Does Helen Do?
Helen is our LAD communication department. She can be found answering emails, Etsy messages (they’re always the worst :p) and in our Facebook Group. She’s a top knitter so is great at answering enquiries plus she’s super committed to the business (which is such a lush compliment) so she often knows what to do or say, even when I wouldn’t. Not only that but Helen is in charge of the majority of the LADmin, she creates all the product listings (on multiple platforms) proofreads literally anything I write – from blog posts to patterns – and creates the emails for our mailing list twice a week. Again, there’s so much more that Helen does here at LAD (I haven’t even touched on the conversations we share in the office, I’d say we cry at least once a month with overwhelm or love) but hopefully that gives you an idea.

Helen is a burst of energy that we adore having around, she is trustworthy, considerate and she brightens our day with fun and frivolity <3
