Welcome to The Crafty Divergent

🌟 About Me

Hi, I’m Jen — and for most of my life, I felt like I was trying to play a game where everyone else got the rulebook… and I didn’t.

I’m energetic, creative, full of ideas… and also easily overwhelmed, distracted, and known for having absolutely no filter (don’t worry — I keep it polite… mostly 😄).

After finding out I had ADHD and autism, so much of my life finally made sense — the burnout, the sensory overload, the struggle to fit into “normal” jobs, and the exhausting effort of masking who I really was just to get through the day.

For years, I tried to force myself into work environments that simply weren’t built for how my brain works. I pushed through stress, health challenges, injuries, operations and more setbacks than I can count… until life basically said:

“Nope. Try something different.”

🚐 My Different Path

I realised I didn’t need to squeeze into someone else’s version of success — I needed to build my own.

Today, I’m my own boss, creating handmade products and personalised gifts from my van.
Yes… my van. My mobile creative space, my workshop, my little bubble of freedom on wheels.

I design, make, personalise, and bring people’s ideas to life — which means I get paid to be creative, detail-obsessed, and completely myself. Turns out all the things that made me “different” are actually pretty useful when you’re making meaningful, one-of-a-kind things.

💖 A Little More About Me

• I feel things deeply

• I notice tiny details

• I care a lot

• I’m resilient (life made sure of that)

• I will talk to absolutely anyone (And some days... no one!)

• And if there’s a creative solution to a problem… my brain is already working on it

Living with ADHD and autism can be intense — but it also makes life colourful, interesting, and full of perspective. Different isn’t something to hide… it’s something to build a life around.

🎯 My Goal In Life

To live freely, create joy, and build a life that feels peaceful, meaningful, and fully mine.

I want to keep:

✨ Creating things that make people smile
✨ Proving that different paths are valid paths
✨ Showing that you don’t have to fit the mould to build a beautiful life
