His dream is to create complete libraries of plant sculptures, which preserve and record the biodiversity and beauty of different plant landscapes for future generations. What's striking about Nic's biography is his passion and commitment to his life and work.

    #9 'Doron Shaltiel speaks about women crafting community'

    Listen to this uplifting story of how one woman's resourceful creativity has created a thriving business that a community of women and their families can depend on. Doron Shaltiel from Quazi Design innovates with up-cycled waste paper magazines to create beautiful design pieces, jewellery, interiors and lighting. Based in Swaziland, all their products are hand made by local women empowering them through skill sharing and a living wage. What really warms our hearts is the atmosphere that's created in their workshop. It's a therapeutic space where a community of artisans feel free to share their lives, grow friendships, care for each other in times of crisis and build their confidence as women who are now free to make their own choices through economic independence. see more at www.naturalscool.com Find Doron & Quazi design http://quazidesign.com

    #8 'David Tragen talks about forging your own path as a designer'

    Listen to the unusual journey of this top end furniture maker. It's as dynamic and original as the furniture itself. David Tragen creates bespoke and limited edition furniture, sculpture and lighting as well as offering short woodworking courses from his rural Cheshire workshop in the UK. The career path of a freelancer, like David, is often very different to that of someone graduating from a formal institute. A clear professional direction and self-assuredness are qualities that need to be built from the inside out. Nothing is laid out with clear signage and ready-made manuals. see more at www.naturalscool.com Find David http://davidtragen.co.uk
