新素养 自主发展 DIY needs creative minds, and creative people often find special ways to express their love for life through handmade works.
Daniella Hudson grew up in a creative family where her parents made all their furniture. “They did this because we couldn't afford furniture,” she explains. “They just enjoyed creating things with their own hands.” This family environment deeply influenced young Daniella.
When Daniella was ten, a school trip to a design show opened her eyes to the wonderful world of furniture design. “I saw so many beautiful tables and chairs in different styles there,” she recalls. From that day on, she decided to follow her parents' path and began making furniture herself. She learnt skills by helping her parents and watching online videos.
Her first project was a table inspired(赋予灵感) by a 1920s design she saw at the show. Although this style wasn't popular any more, Daniella felt proud of her workmanship. Later, she even repainted it because the original wood colour was too dark.
Daniella started selling her creations at a local market, which helped her get customer feedback and enjoy fresh air. However, as her online business grew rapidly, she had to stop the market sales because it took up all her spare time. Interestingly, the market closed down soon after.
Recently, an exciting opportunity came when a design show organizer who had bought her furniture online invited her to participate(参加). “I couldn't believe a thousand visitors would see my work!” Daniella says. Though her traditional style differed from modern designs in magazines, the show brought her many orders and a bright future.
