Hey! I’m Shelley - I’m a photographer and maker with a huge love for seeing small businesses thrive. Having been based in Portview since 2011, I’ve watched the building grow into a warm, vibrant hub of creativity. Opening Thread felt like the natural next step — a way to bring my own ideas into the mix and give others the tools to bring theirs to life. Nothing excites me more than seeing people create, grow, and thrive when they have the space and support to do it. When I’m not at the studio, you’ll probably find me travelling in my van with my dogs, exploring new places, or learning yet another creative skill.
