Mikaela Handmade is a small home business run by Mikaela Danvers, from Canberra, Australia (to wherever you are in the world!).

For as long as I can remember, I have loved to make things with my hands. My most memorable creation as a kid was a futuristic milk carton city, complete with over and underpasses, skyscrapers, gardens and trees. Another was a cardboard box bedroom, in which I decorated the entire interior and fitted out the room down to the very last details, including miniature work books and coloured pencils on the desk made from paper. Everything was always painted or coloured in how it would be on a real life scale.

As a graphic designer (in real life), I have a love for branding my products to look professional and cohesive as a collection. I have also always been an organiser, planner, and love the idea that I can go through the whole process of making a product, packaging, branding and marketing, and eventually selling my goodies to people who appreciate a well made, handmade item. This type of retail suits me and the lifestyle I want to live, and I hope to continue making lovely things for everyone to enjoy for a long time.
